I'm planning to invite some really amazing creators to make up this panel -- people who have the shows and channels that rock YouTube and the web -- and really get them to spill the beans about how the heck they do it. A couple people have already said they'd do it that I'm a huge fan of, so I really hope we get to do this one.

Expect a follow-up to the "Quit Your Day Job and Vlog" panel we did at the last SXSW, with the amazing Zadi Diaz, Bre Pettis, Lisa Nova and Lindsay Campbell -- it'll be all about getting the most awesome people we possibly can in one room.
