Bryan Person's Blog: LiveWorld online

I may be the loudest LiveWorlder yapping on Twitter (1,200 posts - gulp! - as I publish this post), but I'm far from the only one.

In addition to our main LiveWorld account (@LiveWorld), some 27 staffers have individual Tweetin' accounts, where we chime in on not only community and social media discussions, but also on topics and issues that matter to us personally.

Check out our LiveWorld on Twitter directory page to see each of our names, positions in the company, and latest tweets. And if you want to connect with any or all of us on Twitter, just follow!

The SXSW 2010 Interactive PanelPicker launched earlier today, so the rush is now on for votes for next spring's mega-conference in Austin, TX (also my hometown, by good fortune).



LiveWorld has six proposed panel sessions up for a vote. They are:

1) How Social Platforms Grew Discussions of Community Managers
Featuring Sonny Gill and Bryan Person, social media evangelist at LiveWorld.

2) Online Communities: Taking Them to the Next Level
Featuring Jenna Woodul, chief community officer at LiveWorld

3) Why You Should NOT Be Using Social Media
Featuring Mark Williams, senior community manager at LiveWorld

4) #SocialMediaFail: Tales from the Trenches
Featuring Valerie Sprague, senior community manager at LiveWorld

5) My Mom Just Joined Facebook--Now What?
Featuring Bryan Person

6) Community Managers: Who's Your Daddy?
Featuring Mark Williams

If any or all of these sessions sound appealing, we've love your vote.

How to vote

This year's PanelPicker features a new "Yes" (thumbs up) or "No" (thumbs down) voting system, making it a snap to favor the sessions you'd like to see included in the final program.

The PanelPicker voting results account for 30% of the final decisions on panels for SXSW 2010 (staff and advisory board input make up the remaining 70%), and the voting remains open through Friday, September 4.
