Voting ends on August 29, but in the remaining hours you have a shot of sending several top bloggers, editors and managers to SXSW Interactive 2009. Here's a look at the two proposed panels:
The Organic Audience: Growing a Fanbase by Communicating
Engadget, Autoblog, Joystiq, TUAW, Cinematical and other Weblogs properties didn't create a fan base with ad campaigns, viral marketing or sleazy SEO. We did it by putting out the best content, having integrity and (most of all) keeping the conversation going. Hear the best and worst of those conversations.
Managing Virtual Teams: Choreography of Bits
Is your team distributed around the world? At Weblogs, Inc. we built a team of freelancers from around the globe. The daily coordination and management of over 500 bloggers on various platforms in different timezones is a challenge, but one the tools of the internet were made to tackle. Learn how we keep the gears oiled and how you can work in an increasingly distributed universe of talent.

We welcome another blog to the family this week: 
TUAW wants to know. It seems like a simple question. If you're reading this right now you are more than likely using a keyboard and mouse of some sort. Is it whatever came with your machine? What keyboard and mouse do you use at home? At work? What would you rather use? Nearly all the Mac-heads at TUAW choose to use Microsoft mice. Strange but true. Head to

Engadget rolled out some nifty new features and a subtle redesign this week. What's new? How about user-moderated comments? That's right, vote comments up or down, or collapse and filter them. No more waiting for a comment email either, Engadget works with a simple login, so comments appear just like magic. And for those of you rocking the web on big screens, the entire page is dynamic, so scaling up to widescreen results in more content and (this is so cool), bigger pictures!
