OKAY... here’s a list of just SOME of the very interesting-looking sessions and/or speakers (I’ll bet you recognize at least a few of these).
What question would YOU like me to ask one of these presenters if I get the chance?
Maybe I can get the latest inside stuff from folks at Flickr, Yahoo, Google, Twitter, Facebook and others.
Let me know what ONE question you would ask - and I’ll see if I can get you an answer… It's next best thing to being there. (But sorry, I can't send you that Texas BBQ or great Austin Mexican food I'm hearing about).

Wow, I am SO jealous. I didn't find out about SXSW until it was too late. I can't wait to read about your takeaways.
I am such a novice at social marketing that I am sure my questions would seem silly, but asking for input from everyone is a GREAT idea.
By the way, what a great resource list in your blog post for someone like me who is just getting their feet wet. Thanks for sharing that!
Welcome to the blogosphere Charlie!
I'm not at SXSW because I was at SMXWest last week. Based on your list of speakers, I'm very sorry that I'm not going to make it.
I would love love love to meet the guy behind The Onion! Now that's news I never miss!
Hope to see you at future conferences.
would love to go to that conference also. But after hanging out with web 2.0 master Gary Vaynerchuck last week in Orlando, I realize that I have a lot of work to do in this media.
I am glad that you started a blog, I have an active running blog but am no starting a copywriting/marketing blog.
So my question is...
"Is it worthwhile to even write copy anymore? Can you get your message out...and sell product using video alone?"

Well, I'm struggling for a question this morning, but I'd be very interested in hearing what the guy from Forbes had to say in the "Managing the Media Blur"... as an old newspaper guy myself, i'd be interested to know maybe something about how hard it may be in the future to differentiate between what's accurate and what's not in the internet media... It seems to me there isn' t the same burden of proof on the writer... The journalistic principles and codes go down the drain because anyone can anonymously report anything without backing it up with proof and facts...
So, something along those lines would definitely interest me
Hi Charlie,
Yes, welcome to the blogosphere. I prefer to call it "blogland," but no one else seems to ; )
I'd be curious to talk to anyone from Facebook, a tool that I've used to actively promote my blog and my writing. However, I find that the endless social networking and promotion in many online networking tools is a bit mind-numbing, and people seem increasingly desensitized to them. It's hard to judge the quality of a new discussion group or plug-in, and so people end up not reading half of their notifications, etc--a problem that I suspect also occurs with email marketing.
So, that's kind of a long question. Let me try to make it shorter. How can we take advantage of the way that social networks maximize interaction while at the same time numbing people to it?
I suppose that would be a good question for both the folks on the Social Design panel as well as Adam Conner.
