GOTV for #SXSW

This month, the cyberworld of interactive professionals splits into two camps. Those with a submission to SXSW, and those without. Because the good folks at SXSW know that nothing builds August buzz around a March conference more than blogger to blogger voting, they build in the need for potential speakers to promote their own panel idea. So we tweet, bleat, blog and beg.

Sure, other people are super bored with these pleas for votes. Whatevers. With 2395 panels to choose from, it is almost impossible to find a great topic without a direct link. Less than 20% will be chosen and user votes count for 30% of the decision.

Do you have a submission? Let me know. And please share any other panels you think are awesome. In my native land, committed people of all political persuasions know that a compelling platform can’t win without a huge get out the vote (GOTV) push. Annoying? Maybe. Effective? I hope so..!
