SXSW
Vs.

Digital Hollywood
Being that I’ve just come from SXSW in Austin, it’s a bit of a culture shock arriving at Digital Hollywood this morning in NYC. Before I give you the highlights from today, how about I start with a top ten list on the major differences between SXSW and Digi Hollywood? I tried to make it a mix of pros and cons for both but by and large, my mission here is simple humor. I’m good for that.
The Top Ten List: SXSW vs. Digital Hollywood
1) Digital Hollywood attendees think ‘monetization’ whereas SXSW attendees think ‘audience size’…by and large.
2) DH peeps rock a suit. SXSW…more like whatever they rolled out of bed in after a night of binge drinking at Pure Volume.
3) DH: Wine. SXSW: Beer and the more the better.
4) DH: Dell SXSW: Apple
5) DH: More coat check. Less filler. SXSW: More stickers. More graffiti. More idea generation. Less shampoo.
6) DH: No Wi-Fi (except in the conference center using some convoluted means to log on) SXSW: Wi-Fi convention-wide (with small exceptions) AT&T…not so much.
7) DH: Overheard in the bathroom: Nothing. SXSW: Overheard in the bathroom… Friend1: I just joined twitter this morning. Friend 2: JUST this morning?!? Friend1: Yah. (obvious embarrassment)
8) DH: What’s twitter? SXSW: Holy sh#t! Did you see that last guy’s tweet?! Someone just won SXSW Bingo.
9) DH: Keynote: Jeff Zucker (CEO NBC) SXSW: Keynote: James Powderly (Co-founder Graffiti Research Lab)
10) DH: The entire traditional media universe peppered with some digi distribution folks. SXSW: The entire web development community with little to no content creators.
In case you need another visual to drive this one home, have at it…
