In This Economy?

Hello, friends.

So, last year ITE? made a play to get into SXSWi (in conjunction with some of the brilliant minds at fiveoclockdallas.com and iliveindallas.com), and succeeded. We went, we spoke, we conquered. It was rad.

And now we want to do it all over again… and, like last year, we need your help.

But before we go any further, please check out this quick video:

If that video didn’t pique your interest (or at least entertain you) at all, then check out this quick description of our panel idea:

“Last year, six average Joes couldn’t tweet their way out of a paper bag. But they banded together and used each other’s strengths to make their dream of speaking at SXSWi a reality. Learn how they leveraged the power of social media strategy, exceptional content, and relentless self promotion to get their panel accepted. In this panel, we’ll take you through every step of the process: -Brainstorming an idea that doesn’t suck -Using every tool at your disposal to promote the hell out of that idea -Preparing yourself for the opportunity of a lifetime -And making the most out of it once you’re there.”

Basically it’s a panel idea that we want to get picked about how to create a panel idea that you want to get picked. It’s sort of like the Inception of SXSWi panel ideas… or something.

So now if you’ve made it this far down on the page you must really want to vote, but how do you do it?

It’s easy:

• Create an account in order to vote/comment on our panel here — http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/users/register
• Check your email and validate your account  (don’t worry, you are not signing onto any e-mail lists by giving SXSW your information)
• Click on or paste the link below in your browser and give it a thumbs up!

And that’s all there is to it. We need all the help we can get so please tell your friends about our little campaign. We couldn’t have done it last year without you guys, and we surely can’t do it this year without you… so please give us a hand… or at least a thumb.

THANKS!
