I'll come back to a lot of the things I'm going to touch on here more deeply later (particularly twitter, the digital ethnorati panel, and the new "online identity" conversations) but here's what my very tired brain is thinking about:

Twitter:

• How did I stay connected to people at SXSW before twitter?
• I do have unlimited text on my phone, right?
• Twitter is not for your personal conversation. Let's try a one interaction AB conversation (and use the @username convention) and not AB AB AB AB AB AB where I don't know if you're talking to me or not. Remember we don't all have the same friends. We do still have IM and Direct Message and E-Mail for that.
• It is not rude to stop following someone.

• Samhita and Erica are some of my new favorites. Get Familiar.
  
• Laina and Ms Jen are now officially part of my sxsw inner circle
• I'm awfully excited I finally got to meet Rox and RKB in person
• It's nice being able to talk work stuff with work friends like Amy and Cruftbox at SXSW
• George, Lynne, Tiffany, Lainie, and Tracy are all my ace #1 peoples but you know this

• Buzzfeed
• Juiceboxxx
• Laist
• Blackholicus!
• Thunderstorms!

• I really need to come up with the "Agency Constitution" for my production team
• I really need to form a production philosophy that we'll adhere to. A mantra, if you will (and not negative ones like "No more phases" and "Not a production issue").
• I don't have any design/agency/business role models. I should get some.

• Summary thought: Now that people have developed online identity, they are now seeking a sense of place and that often means at points where online and offline worlds intersect.
• We really need to stop thinking about offline and online as separate.
• public vs. private is still a huge (and unsolved) issue.
• SF nerds name-check plazes all the time but I don't think it has much average user application (or provides a service that people are clamoring for)

• New etiquette rules really need to be established for online and mobile communication
• Reputation, Identity, Presence, Nameplaces - these are my kinds of buzzwords
• How does the desire for someone like me who wants a persistent online identity exist at the same time that many people (particularly young people) like the concept of disposable identity? Are their tools and applications that can make the web better for both types of folks?
  
• What about those who want no online identity but still wants the tools that are increasingly requiring identity creation?

• Short form/online content creators are mostly thinking about how to navigate big media negotiation instead of thinking much about the new challenges they face as their content gets monetized (unions, guilds, talent, production value)
• I don't know enough about the VLOG community

• This requires it's own post.

• Do we get to self define ourselves as the "Ethnorati"?
• When unexpected communities begin using a tool in unexpected ways, is there a kind of "byte flight" where the intended/existing community leaves for other options? (See Orkut, see fotolog, See even Friendster)
• I'm not sure I subscribe to the assumption that online access is for all (at least not in the "a laptop in every living room, a broadband connection in every wall" kind of way it was discussed here)
• Are there companies thinking about technology tools from ethnic/geographic perspective? Who are they? Who is running them?
• Aren't the tools being created from a commerce perspective different from the ones that academia and/or socially progressive organizations need in the communities they service?
• Does perception matter in this case?
