Feedback
If you're going to SXSW, some of us are jealous. Feedback on the addition of FourSquare and MySpace and how you used it at SXSW would be great.
If you aren't going to SXSW like the person writing this article who is, again, jealous, your feedback is still welcome if you're a HootSuite user.
If you're totally bored, you can always count up how many times I used "SXSW" in this article. It's like counting jellybeans in a jar. No prize, though.
