Although I didn’t complain about SXSWi’s crowdsourcing of the panels last year, I definitely think with this year’s insane number of submissions, it’s not going to work very well. People with a “name” aren’t going to have a chance. Maybe that’s what SXSW wants. But with 683 submissions and only 80 slots, there’s no doubt in my min that it’s going to be nothing but a popularity contest. Oh well — there’s always the parties.
