Late this afternoon, the South by Southwest Interactive Web site began shifting into high gear with new features and an updated conference schedule, available only to registered attendees. The full schedule won’t be available to the public in final form until mid-February.
The new feature is a Web site platform is called “my.SXSW” and it’s an application that allows attendees to create a profile, make a calendar, find others who are attending the festival and share their personal schedule. You’ll also be able to get notifications on schedule changes and the site promises to integrate with Twitter, Flickr and Facebook.
As of this moment, I’m not able to log in to the site to tell you more about it, but I’ll keep updating when I make it in. If you’re able to access the site, let me know and tell me your thoughts.
