SXSW: Where ConvCast Was Born

Before ConvCast had a name, Paul Walhus was already the most connected person at South by Southwest.

The Origin Story

SXSW 2007. Twitter had just launched, and a giant screen in downtown Austin displayed live tweets from around the festival. The crowd was hooked. Among them, a gray-haired Austin blogger named Paul Terry Walhus was tweeting circles around everyone.

The New York Times called him "one of the best-loved twitterers." Slate and Salon anointed him the most popular man on Twitter. BuzzFeed News later wrote about him as "The Original King of Twitter."

With 8,789 friends and a relentless presence at every panel, party, and trade show floor, Walhus didn't just attend SXSW — he became part of its mythology. That same energy fuels ConvCast today: boots on the ground, camera in hand, broadcasting live from the convention floor.
