If you’ve been following our interviews on Spring.net/blog, AustinCast.com/blog and AustinLifestyles.com you’ll know that we interviewed over 200 panel participants at SXSW 2009 and as a follow up to this we’re going to be setting up some Online Virtual panels with folks who are competing for a panel this year in the SXSW Panel Picker app.

We’re also supporters of the http://sxspeak.com site and you can follow us on twitter at http://twitter.com/sxpanel
