SxSW Panel Picker
posted by Jason Swihart on August 22, 2007
The SxSW panel picker is up and it’s time to cast your votes, preferably for your favorite business blogging gurus. But holy crap, 688 panels to choose from? I’ve got indigestion already.
We have some excellent things to talk about this year and, with your help, someone might actually hear them:
- Jay wants to talk about Hacking the Enterprise with Social Media Applications and the State of the Invisible Blogosphere—both topics on which there is probably no better expert.
- For my part, I’ve proporsed a panel titled There’s Something about MarComm in which I will ask the question: why do traditional approaches Marketing and Communication suck so bad?
- Who knows what Byron’s doing. Probably something with riding bikes.
I know a few of the panels I’m voting for:
- Zeldman’s panel which is clearly marketed to us wizened gray hairs.
- As a wrangler of several frenetically creative and disorganized minds (my own included) Bryan Mason’s panel interests me.
- And, not to be missed is the estimable Abu Noaman’s Using SEO Inforgraphics to Visualize Advanced Search Techniques.
My stream-of-consciousness SxSW ethnography reveals the following:
- Things which are 2.0 or higher: Friends, Agency, Mobile Data, Enterprise, Outsourcing, Content, Search, FM, Location, Mom, Work, Managmeent, Breakups, Wiki, Email, Africa, Ajax, School
- 8.43% of all panel proposals are about Apple. 3.92% of all panel proposals are about Google. 3.63% of all panel proposals are about Microsoft.
- 9.01% of panels mention “data” or “information.” Only 2.03% mention “learning” or “knowledge.”
- 2.03% of all panel proposals are about humans. 0.58% of all panel proposals are about children. 0.29% of all panel proposals are about monkeys.
- Percentage by which things that rock outnumber things that suck: 85%.
- Basic technologies ordered by the frequency of appearance:
- lever (21)
- Javascript, Perl, Ruby (7)
- CSS, HTML (5)
- wheel (2)
- PHP (1)
