I’ve been going to SXSWi for the past three years and it is definitely one of the best conferences I go to every year and was probably one of the biggest influences on me as far as seeing the potential of the Web and this whole social media thing and I’ve always wondered if I would ever make the jump from participants to speaker. So I’m trying my luck for the 1st time this year by suggesting a panel called “Strategies for Establishing Social Media in B2B Relationships“.
My thought for the panel is the past three years you hear a lot (and I mean A LOT) of talk about the consumer space and how to engage with your customers but never much talk about how businesses can use social media to engage with other businesses, clients, or vendors. So I wanted to offer up a panel that would focus on strategies to that idea.
The strategy and approach is different (and maybe a stronger need for a solid business model) than the ‘built it a they will come’ approach of many of the start-ups.
So I’d appreciate the vote for the panel even though I’m going to be freaked out if I get picked. I think it’ll be good and could be a nice change of pace for SXSW in 2009.
Thanks in advance for the votes!

Just seeing your photos have made me a happier person today. I recently underwent GB on October 7, 2008 and have been feeling a little depressed. It's amazing how much food comforted me. I am on the liquid diet and am feeling pretty down and out. I have littlle to no strenght and wondering if this was the right choice for me. Did you experience any of this? I must say I would love to just taste something other that sugar free jello and chicken broth. Would love to here from you….tasteless in clute, TX.
