SxSW: Today's Best Tweets

SxSW is something of a Twitter wonderland, it seems everyone who is on the ground has an account and a flurry of observations, news and smart-arse comments come through endlessly throughout the event.

Here are a few of our favourites from the past few hours. We should warn you, there's a fair bit of Pope talk...

Pope to be chosen by panel of 3 college radio DJs, a booking agent and 2 guys who just started a new streaming service. #SXSW

Yeah but did Pope Francis back any new ventures that will replace Google Reader or is Wes Welker going to The Vatican? #sxsw

Gig number 3 today at SXSW. Tiring stuff. Spotify session. Also became the pope. Long day.

If it was announced that the newly elected pope was going to play #sxsw Twitter would end.

Iggy's looking sharp, apparently.

Iggy Pop and Jennifer Aniston have the same colorist. #sxsw

But might be shown up by our own sharpest artist.

Iggy Pop and Nick Cave are performing in Austin at the same time. There could be a weather event. #NPRMusic #sxsw

Are Daft Punk actually playing?

Headed to the capital building to see #DaftPunk.... Or at least get some Instagram pictures of a bunch of disappointed people. #sxsw

Har Mar wants swag.

Grab me a Doritos hoodie, a Slice visor, and some Vienna Sausage toe socks while you're out swagging at #sxsw. Oh, and some Pampers.
