<\/a><\/p>\n\n[U]sing ITDatabase (shameless plug)<\/a> I did a search for the 30 day period ending March 25th<\/b> so see how many articles were written about SXSW this year.<\/p>\nThe numbers break down as follows:<\/p>\n
\n- Number of articles: 328<\/b><\/li>\n
- Number publications: 109<\/b><\/li>\n
- Number of authors: 143<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Interesting isn\u2019t it? The data implies that more than one author per publication wrote something about SXSW.<\/p>\n
Going a level deeper, let\u2019s take a look at the top 10 vendors mentioned in SXSW stories:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n\n- Twitter 122 (37.2%)<\/li>\n
- Facebook 96 (29.3%)<\/li>\n
- Apple 69 (21.0%)<\/li>\n
- Google 60 (18.3%)<\/li>\n
