'Nuance doesn't get retweeted.'

That's how Time TV critic James Poniewozik summed up the challenges of arts criticism in the age of social media at a panel at South by Southwest (SXS W), the annual gathering of hipster music, film and tech types in Austin. Time's writers were all over SXSW, weighing in on politics, business and gadgetry. Also making an impression: "Chasing Ice," the time-lapse glacier documentary screened at the festival and featured on Time.corn's LightBox blog. But perhaps the biggest highlight was Time book critic Lev Grossman's keynote interview with futurist Ray Kurzweil. "A kid in Africa with a smart phone has access to more information than the President of the U.S. 15 years ago," said Kurzweil. To which Twitter user Hachem Hosenbux responded, "Collective mind blown."
