It’s that time of the year where SXSW asks us to garner mega amounts of attention for the panels we’re proposing for next year’s Interactive conference. This is a Big Deal, and I’m joining forces with all the other fabulous people around me to co-promote everyone’s hard work. So, take 3 minutes to register and vote for us!

My panels:

• Social Media, Social Capital: Boot Camp:
  Me and Susan Mernit will give an introductory workshop showing how folks can get on board the mighty train. Update: Tara Hunt‘s joining us, too!
• Beyond Tokenism: How Social Media Can Fix S***:
  Me, Rob Biko Baker, Veronica Arreola and Cheryl Contee will hold a panel on what’s at stake sociopolitically with social media. I’ll be shamelessly promoting my book, Share This!.

My friends’ gigs:

• Social Justice and Video Games: by Latoya Peterson with N’Gai Croal and Naomi Clark; invited Professor Andre Brock
• The Netroots After The Obama Victory with Amanda Marcotte and what’ll be an all-star lineup fer sure
• Not the Silent Majority: Women in Politics Online: by Sarah Granger with Shireen Mitchell, Erin Kotecki-Vest, and Cheryl Contee.
• Mom Blogging – Beyond Swag and Diaper Bags: This one is with Veronica Arreola and PunditMom
• Bumpin Up: Has the Glass Ceiling Ever Smacked you in the Butt by Allyson Kapin and a slew of Important Women In Tech
• Web TV That Doesn't Suck with Marc Faletti

UPDATE: I was in the social justice frame o’ mind when I first wrote this, and forgot other Good People:

• Don’t Stop Believin: Why Karaoke WILL Change the World with Tara Hunt and the Whuffaoke crew
• RT: I’m Going to Kill Myself. Preventing Suicide Online with Chris Gandin Le

(Am I missing you? Let me know!)

Thanks in advance for helping to keep social cause stuff on the plate at such an influential conference. It means a lot to us out here on the front lines!
