I joined the Web of Things presentation at SXSW midway through after leaving a presentation on Accessibility.  The presentation was by Vlad Trifa and Dominique Guinard and focused on managing real world devices through the internet using readily available technologies.  You can see their presentation below and more details at http://webofthings.com/sxsw
