Check it out. Blogger pal Carmen Van Kerckhove of Racialicious has proposed a panel idea for next year's SXSW Interactive conference, and it looks like it could be pretty cool, but it needs your votes if it's going to happen: Vote for my South by Southwest panel!.

The panel, titled Can Social Media End Racism?, aims to examine "the ideas of race in the digital environment with a specific focus on social media." I'm tentatively committed to participate in the panel, so if everything works out, I could be there alongside Carmen, Jay Smooth of Ill Doctrine and other cool bloggers next March at SXSW.

So... please take a moment to rate the panel (0 to 5 stars). You'll need to create a Panel Picker login account, which only takes about a minute. Your help is appreciated!
