And by Big Top I mean SXSW. It’s the Barnum and Bailey for nerds and we want to go to the show.

This year we decided to compile some seriously cool people and propose a panel. A panel we cleverly named: Are You There Social Media? It’s Me Conflict. Like I said, we’re geniuses.

We’re going to combine the brains of diverse individuals to look at the role of social media in conflict. In looking at social media’s effect on a world in conflict, we see what it means to pair embargoes and blogs, corruption and SIM cards, and the importance of knowing how conflict-related trending topics are replaced by Michael Jackson and Lindsay Lohan.

We really want you to think a little more closely about your phone and the power of it’s apps. And more importantly, we really want your vote. Actually, I’m begging for your vote.

PLEASE VOTE FOR US, because we’re a special kind of awesome.

Here’s the link, register and vote. It matters. And maybe one day, when we’re all famous, we will remember you voted for us. Probably not, but it’s worth thinking it might happen.
