		<description><![CDATA[Please support our panel for SXSW 2010 in the Panel Picker http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/ideas/view/4705]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 168px"><a href="http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/ideas/view/4705" target="_blank"><img title="SXSW Panel Picker for Eugene Hsu" src="http://sxsw.com/files/SXSWPanelPicker-lg.png" alt="SXSW Social Gaming and Monetization Petting Fur, Killing Mobsters for Fun and Profit" width="158" height="197" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">SXSW 2010 Panel Picker for our Social Gaming and Monetization Panel</p></div>
<p>We put together a panel for SXSW 2010 and were fortunate enough to have made it to the first level of voting.  Through your help, we are looking to improve our chances by having you give <a href="http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/ideas/view/4705" target="_blank">our panel</a> a thumb&#8217;s up!</p>
<p>The biggest news at the time when we were putting this together was the publication of revenue numbers for Zynga! which were said to be trending to $100MM this year.  We&#8217;ve also seen SuperRewards! announce that they were going to surpass $100MM, and then they were bought-out.  It&#8217;s a very exciting time for Social Games and alternative monetization strategies.  Thus, we hope you will support our panel.</p>
<p>Additional Participants are pending, but so far we have Austin Chang, VP of Strategy and Development for MTV Digital, Malcolm Ong, Senior Developer at Razorfish NYC, Karina Paje, Business Development at RockYou!, and me from Challenge Games.  I hope that you will find our topic to be of great interest to you and worthy of support.</p>
<p>Due to limitations on characters and words, I decided to be a bit more creative in the naming and description of <a href="http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/ideas/view/4705" target="_blank">the panel</a>.  This means that we are the only SXSWi panel where you can find us by searching by typing in &#8220;bunnies&#8221; or &#8220;Mobster.&#8221;   <img src='http://heuge.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
