The SXSW Interactive Panel Picker deadline is today!

Please consider voting for the panels that NetSquared has proposed:

So that you don't have to scroll through all 192 proposals, in the Community category we proprosed:

The Web to the Rescue: Net-centric Approaches to Disaster Recovery From tsunamis, earthquakes and hurricanes, to terror attacks and armed conflicts, global disasters dominate our news feeds and devastate lives. How have internet technologists quickly organized collective responses? Why is the social web uniquely positioned to take on this challenge? Public-private collaborations are also playing an increasing role in mobilizing people and resources. Let’s discuss the success stories, the obstacles, lessons learned, and where the web-based road to disaster recovery is heading.

In the Browsers/Web Apps category we proposed:

NPO 2.0 Web Widget Challenge Always wanted to put your amazing tech developer skills to use for a great cause? We’ll gather together a group of wacky, willing techie developers and challenge them to create a new widget based on the unique, specific needs of a nonprofit organization— in an hour. So many web technology platforms… so many ways to use them. Generate a new social web tool for nonprofits and help change the world with us!

And in the Politics/Social Activism category we proposed:

Raising our Web Consciousness…and Keeping It There What strategies and tactics work? And which don’t? We’ll discuss whether grassroots web marketing (i.e., letting your audience do your outreach) is a viable approach for spreading social issue messages— and sustaining our compassion and attention. What are the unique challenges nonprofits face when using it? Many of the latest social networking web tools can help you change the world— let’s narrow down the most effective, and leave the rest to fade off our screens.
