The good news: SXSWi has launched a UserVoice forum soliciting feedback from folks who attended the conference. The bad news: the site requires yet another registration. Separate from the conference. And the insiders guide. And the badge/member list stuff. Was there another?
I suggested coworking panels and a coworking area for next year. And a revamp of their site UI.
Sign up. Vote. Let’s get coworking on the agenda big time next year. You can suggest and vote without registering, but apparently the info disappears after a week.
Update: My bad — this is not an official SXSW site. My whining about too many registrations is a statement about SXSW in general, not UserVoice, which I happen to think is a fine and important app. It validates my point that too much quality content lives outside the SXSW site. It’s time for the whole site to receive a UI overhaul to integrate all this stuff and to make the conference sites more useful in general.

I don’t think SXSW did this officially, it was kicked off by co-founder of UserVoice and CitizenDesk founder Marcus Nelson.
Nonetheless, this is REALLY important. Getting good feedback on here is viable because it’s organized.
Clearly I’m heavily supporting a big time coworking contingent for next year.

Thanks for pointing this out, Alex. And sorry, Marcus.
I agree, this is a good, important thing.

Just wanted to clarify that we are not an official SXSW site, thus the additional registration, but I don’t think that dilutes the power of the ideas being left on there by SXSW attendees.
Thanks for the note and let me know if you’d like a UserVoice page for LaunchPad!
