Pick a peck of panels with Picker (for SXSW Interactive)
The famed Panel Picker, the tool by which the South by Southwest Interactive attendees can help choose the panels for 2009’s festival (or at least have a 30 percent say in it), is now live.
The list of possible panels is so enormous that, on my last day before vacation, it just makes me want to go take a long nap in anticipation of next March.
Almost as soon as the Panel Picker went live this morning, the lobbying began in earnest with folks who’d submitted panel ideas weeks ago asking for votes. (A panel submitted by the Statesman on how Old Media is using Twitter was no exception.)
What am I voting for? Well… heh… little problem there. I registered over an hour ago and still haven’t received the confirmation e-mail that allows me to log in and start assigning star-based ratings.
I’ve received messages saying other people are having similar issues. I’m just hoping it arrived in the next two and a half hours before I go into official Vacation Mode and stop caring about anything related to technology. If I talk about anything more digital than a toaster next week, please remind me that I’m off the clock.

Quig and I both could not get confirmation with our Statesman email, but did immediately with our personal email. Hopefully just coincidence, but worth a try.
