That perfectly sums up my own experience at SXSW in 2001, and explains why I've never gone back (although I have considered going back for the music festival). I was expecting insight, or at the very least thought provoking discussion, but instead I found a bunch of unrehearsed webmonkeys who were really no more qualified to speak on their topics than I would have been. A definite waste of money.

Very well done (my favorite part: the panelist taking a digital picture of the audience).
