Tools + measurement (what to measure) -- would love to hear more on these two in the context of community building around a brand / product / blog.

Hi Loic,

Just some feedback I think that the topics might be too broad and aren't going to fit into an hour session. Personally I'm most interested in number 7 and 10. Good luck with the panel selections.

confirmed panel speakers if the panel is accepted: Chris Brogan and Chris Pirillo + me.

Len and all, thanks for feedback, I seriously think Chris Brogran and Chris Pirillo can entertain an audience for an hour at least, I will try to moderate properly!

Anytime you've got LOIC/CHRIS & CHRIS I am there...!!!
I agree with Len K. a bit...I also think with SO MANY tools out there - a greater understanding of what tools work best with what would be an enhancement to the discussion.
Best of Luck!

I just voted for this because I saw Chris Pirillo's tweet about it - see how effective online communities are?! ;)

See you at SXSW
