Back in August we asked you all to go check out SXSW's Interactive Panel Picker and vote on a panel put together by our very own Ms. Bekman. Votes have been counted and decisions made and Jen's panel, Curating the Crowd-Sourced World is almost ready for, well, the crowds at SXSW Interactive '09. Joining her on the stage to spill smarts about crowd-sourcing vs. curation are some pretty amazing people:

Dustin Hostetler (aka UPSO), Special Projects Curator, Threadless
Paddy Johnson, Editor, Art Fag City
Nion McEvoy, Chairman/President of Chronicle Books, CEO/Owner Spin Magazine, Chairman/CEO The McEvoy Group
and
Gina Trapani, Founding Editor, Lifehacker

What's the panel all about? Jen writes:
With all the stuff we weed through online, good filters are crucial. Who's best-suited to determine what's best – curators or the crowd? People have their religion about one or the other, however this panel will focus on the overlap, the grey areas and how curating and crowd-sourcing enrich each other.
