SXSW has become one of the premier conferences for the Web 2.0 industry and is a perfect opportunity for us to tell a lot of people about the role of widgets in social media.

Clearspring submitted three panels for SXSW 2009. “True Life: I’m a Successful Widget,” will explore how a mainstream brand was able to infiltrate the social networks with their widget; “How Sharing is Reshaping the Web” describes the role of the widget as the social aggregator; and “How I Got Paid for Getting Grabbed” describes how folks are monetizing widgets.

Here’s the thing: panels at SXSW are chosen, in part, by online voters. Which is where we need your help. I’d like to ask you to take a few minutes before August 29th to go online to the SXSW panel picker and vote for one or all of our panels.

Check out the widget below with some handy links to vote!

Thanks for your help!
