Information is disseminated at amazing speeds across the web and here is a prime example.

I was watching a keynote by Mark Zuckerberg at SXSW. The crowd took exception to the line of questioning by the interviewer and began to complain. Within seconds the whole Internet was a buzz of what was happening. Notified by Twitter and RSS feeds, curious people, attending other panels, started coming into the room to see what was going on.

Attendees at SXSW constantly blogged and tweeted during panel discussions. Information was posted online in almost real-time: faster than a thousand phones calls could possibly be made, or a news announcements could be created. Pretty powerful stuff.
