So I’m gearing up for my now annual trip to Austin this week to attend SXSWi, but I realized something really important: I don’t know which sessions to watch. There are 350 speakers this year, how the f- am I going to figure out which to watch? So I am entrusting you my faithful readers to pick and choose which panels I attend. I’ll be blogging about most of them, so its really a pseudo on-demand note taking service I am offering you all.
I’ll be in attendance from friday afternoon, through monday afternoon. So check out the panel grid, and give me your top 3 or 4 presentations to check out.
