Worst copy ever:

The SXSW PanelPicker is a two-step online system that allows the community to have a significant voice in programming Interactive, Film, and Music conference activities for SXSWeek 2011 (March 11-20).

Basically, if you know what is going to be of interest to the industry in just under a year or so, you should propose a talk.

That said, if you believe you qualify for the above, you’re probably:

1. Overconfident
2. Not really all that good at what you do
3. A social media douchebag
4. A marketer
5. From the future
6. Going to change your talk in the last few weeks anyway

I’m in that last category, but I’m hoping to meet a few from the second-to-last. I hear they have flying cars.

Cameron Moll, on this year’s SXSW:

I’ll confess: Every year, I’m one of those guys that gripes about SXSWi being too big, about the content being poor, and about the assumption that this year is finally the peak year and things will die off next year. Well, this year, I was pleasantly mistaken.

Me too.

Paul has a solid writeup and synopsis of the talk Talbs and I gave at SXSW this year, “Jacks of All Trades or Masters of One?”:

This is a good talk. They have loads of humour in it. That always works well.

Thanks, Paul! You can find the slides on Slideshare.

We’ll see…
