Using crowdsourcing to decide who will present at SXSW 2010, arguably the most talked about conference devoted to converging creative disciplines?  Brilliant.  Now all we need is a crowd, and crowds begin with individuals. Now all we need is you, and your vote!

There are just a few (thousand) people who have submitted their ideas to the 2010 SXSW panel pickers. We’re one of them with the topic Hashtag Power: Turn @yourbusiness into #YourBusiness on Twitter.

Since launching HootSuite, the professional Twitter client, we’ve witnessed firsthand that Twitter can be a powerful tool for brands and businesses, big and small, whether it be for customer service, brand tracking or creating buzz. However, we feel that hashtags have been overlooked as a viable and powerful Twitter strategy for businesses – a topic we look forward to explicating at SXSW 2010.

Help us get there! Why? Because we’re awesome and the high-fives we’ll distribute will be worth it.
