The SXSW Panel Picker has launched -- for those of you unfamiliar with the event and its programming process, the Panel Picker is a nifty app that lets folks vote on which panels they would like to be included at the SXSW Interactive Festival, which runs concurrently with the SXSW Film Festival. I have been attending and speaking at SXSW for the past three years and have to say, it's one of my favorite conferences. It's an opportunity to network with some of the brightest minds in the technology space, learn about new sites and have fun since a big aspect of the event is the party scene at night.

Last year I moderated a very successful teen panel focused on how teens are using the Web and cell phones, what companies get right and where they can improve. I have proposed a similar panel for this year's fest and hope you can help me make it happen. The registration is quick and painless in order to vote, so please take a minute to show your support. Vote for the panel here.

Also, we threw a Ypulse all ages event in '08 with a teen band and spoken word poets - you can see the photos here. If any companies in the youth space who are attending this year want to partner with us to throw an even bigger event, let me know.
