As of September 2, Panel Picker voting is closed. You can, however, still leave comments on the proposals you find interesting. We will announce the first set of accepted panels on Thursday, October 2. Stay tuned to the SXSW Interactive Festival website for these announcements, or e-mail us if you have questions.
Consumers are blogging and companies must listen. But, with its messiness, bad grammar and conflicting concepts, the blogosphere seems impossible to translate. Hear panelists discuss how to mine the blogosphere for data about companies, brands, products, people and issues to improve marketing efforts and fine-tune products. New opportunities/trends will also be discussed.
