Description:
So you've got a pretty face... now what? A panel of four well-established female videobloggers talk shop. What does it take to survive in the blogosphere when most of the other content creators around you are men? Network horror stories, new media triumphs and everything in-between will be discussed.
Questions
Answered:
  1. What is a videoblog?
  2. What is a mobile television show?
  3. What does a typical work day look like for you?
  4. I'm not an actor or anything. Can I still create a successful videoblog?
  5. What are some of the best ways to interact with viewers?
  6. What are the pros and cons of videoblogging for a network?
  7. What's it like being a female videoblogger on the net these days?
  8. What constitutes a troll? How do you decide whether to kill or ignore a troll?
  9. Can you do it all yourself or is it better to work collaboratively when you videoblog?
  10. Is there really an "old boys club" in the blogosphere? Does it matter?

Zadi Diaz (Epic Fu), Lindsay Campbell (Wallstrip, CBS's Moblogic) and Brigitte Dale (ABC Family videoblog) would be the other ladies on the panel. :) I'm super committed to making this panel a wild success and I thank you in advance for your vote... I look forward to meeting you and reconnecting with old friends at SXSWInteractive!

While I'm a fan of the work on people on this proposed panel I find it really sad that you led your panel description with "so you've got a pretty face" Amanda.

PLenty of women don't think they have a pretty face. They may easily be mistaken and unable to see thier own gorgeousness. It's exactly the kind of thing that shouldn't stand in the way of videoblogging. If that's the point you want to make in your panel, I'd suggest a copyedit.

I think that's just Amanda's point, Heather. Old Media seems to consider a pretty face a prerequisite and, as in "Mad Men", sometimes cannot seem to see beyond it. Is New Media going down the same path? I, for one, am very interested to hear this discussion.
