A restless, judgmental, twitter-emboldened audience revolts during an under-stimulating, overly-awkward interview of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg at SXSW. Anecdotal geek sidenote or foreshadowing of the future of media?

I don’t know exactly how twitter works, but the basic premise seems to be that there are anonymous-yet-findable threads of conversation hovering in real-time that can alter the course of an event or presentation. I think the key difference between this and basic note-passing or text-messaging is the anonymity factor. Everyone can assimilate everyone else’s observations without having a clue who the observer was.

I wonder – has this been happening all over the place or is this kind of a breakthrough event? I’m trying to picture speaking in front of 500 people and realizing that each pair of eyes is tethered to the same borg-like stream of consciousness. A collective audience-brain anonymously magnifying and building upon each other’s observations–probing, petty, or otherwise–and acting on them instantly.

Fitting for a tech-media mogul/whippersnapper to be a victim I suppose.
