Kristina Halvorson would be an excellent addition to the SXSW panel. A primer on Content Strategy given by someone with Kristina's expertise (book out next week: http://tinyurl.com/lcso77) in Content Strategy would be a very useful treat!

I've been following Kristina on Twitter and she has great insight into Content Strategy. She also has great wit, and I think she'd be a great presenter. I would love to hear her speak. Thanks!

If you focused on nonviolent persuasion, you'd welcome the opportunity to learn from Gandhi, right? If you make interactive experiences that include words, welcome the opportunity to learn from Kristina.

Yes, JUST LIKE GANDHI.

I could get into that metaphor, Margot. Sometimes I suspect that Kristina has an intimate personal relationship with Vishnu.

Also, she's hot (ask anyone), so if you find the presentation isn't your cup of tea, you can always twitter about that.

Thanks to Kristina, Content Strategy is taking the center stage, and experiences will all be better because of it. This is going to be a great talk and insightful both for jaded, bitter professionals who are addicted to lorem ipsum, as well as folks new to the field who want to see how to do it right out of the gate.
