科技英语新闻翻译MARGIE NEWMAN: "When you can go to a place and not only see what's next and see how to better use what's already here, but also connect with people who love it as much as you do, it's just kind of a special thing. A lot of people call South by Southwest Interactive the geek spring break. And that's pretty accurate."

纽曼：“当你来到这里，不仅能看到下一个技术热点，了解如何更好的运用当前科技。还可以和有着相同兴趣的人一起交流。这是非常特别的经历。很多人把SXSW 盛典称为奇客春假(怪人云集)，这是相当准确的。

South by Southwest Interactive has seen the successful launch of several products. It helped push Twitter into mainstream popularity in two thousand seven. In two thousand nine, a company called Foursquare launched its mobile networking service at the festival. The service lets friends tell other friends where they are by "checking in" using a mobile application or a text message. Foursquare's owners say they now have more than six and a half million users around the world. SXSW 盛典见证了几个产品的成功推出。2007 年该盛典推动了Twitter 的

普及。2009 年，一家名为Foursquare 的公司在SXSW 盛典推出了手机网

络服务。这项服务允许朋友之间通过手机程序或短信“检入”(checking

in ) 分享自己所处的地理位置。Foursquare 公司表示，现在他们在全球拥有超过650 万用户。

this year's festival. The codes turn URLs and text into barcode-like images that can be scanned using a mobile phone or a QR code reader.
