It would mean allot to me if you could please take a few moments to look at my two proposals for SXSW and if you wish, sign up for an account with SXSW (in only takes 15 seconds) and give me the “thumbs up.” Please leave a comment, I would love to hear from you and integrate your ideas into the conversation.

“How to be a Micro-Celebrity and Still Have a Life”

The above proposal is a fun look at handling the micro-celebrity status many have achieved with their readers, listeners or viewers. Along with allot of fun analogies this conversation is packed with practical ideas to save you time and money all the while keeping your web presence efforts fun and sustainable.

“Building Church 3.0”

The above proposal is an insightful look using multiple case studies as to how you can build your congregation online all the while enhancing the community experience for your church membership. This conversation goes beyond the use of Web 2.0 tools and integrates the next step in natural development, using these to tools to help your online community connect with a higher calling.

I just returned from the New Media Expo in Las Vegas and just wanted to thank all of you that attended my presentation for coming. It was a blast meeting each of you and getting to know you. I look forward to helping you in any way that I can. But right now, I need your help. I need your help in the form of a vote. We are putting together a panel for the upcoming 2009 South by Southwest (other wise known as the SXSW Interactive Festival) in Austin Texas. We have proposed a panel called “Using Social Media to Create a Buzzing Podcast.”

It is easy for you to help. Just click the following link, “Using Social Media to Create a Buzzing Podcast.” Once there take the 30 seconds to sign up and then vote for the panel, with a little luck, maybe we will be chosen to speak again this year at the conference.

Currently there are two people on the panel. Myself and Gary Leland, CEO/Owner of Podcast Pickle. Podcast Pickle was noted as one of the top websites by Time Magazine. Gary is an expert on podcasting and has incredible insights on how to use New Media and Social Networking to grow your podcast listeners. There are plans to add others to the panel and once their attendance is confirmed, I will notify you promptly.

Again, your vote for our panel suggestion “Using Social Media to Create a Buzzing Podcast” is greatly appreciated.
