Gearing up for South by Southwest (SXSW)?
PeopleBrowsr, an attention-centered dashboard for managing your online relationships and communications on Twitter and across social networks, will help you keep track of all your SXSW contacts, events, parties, and conversations at http://sxsw.peoplebrowsr.com.
PeopleBrowsr turns your Web browser into a simple, visual dashboard that combines all your profiles and connections into one easy to manage place. The tool offers either a columnar view or a “people” grid gallery of organizable tweets from everyone in the Twitter stream with additional columns for “following,” keyword searches, and replies. And unlike other third-party tools, no downloads or plug-ins are required.
Here are the Top Ten Reasons for Using PeopleBrowsr at SXSW Film/Interactive/Music:
1. View all conversations and content related to #SXSW on Twitter, Facebook, and other popular social networks in one dashboard.
2. Create Twitter groups to listen to a specific subset of certain individuals, those attending SXSW for example, to stay up-to-date with their activity during the event.
3. See all the SXSW parties in one master list without leaving your PeopleBrowsr dashboard.
4. Follow the buzz about the conference and parties – check out who’s going where, what’s cool, and what shouldn’t be missed.
5. Discover and follow new people and trends based on popular and not yet discovered hashtags such as #SXSW, #techset, #allhat, #bloglounge.
6. Power the SXSW flash mob mentality. There’s an embedded map for visually tracking where friends are tweeting while in Austin.
7. Check out the statistics and clouds for the most popular tags and words used during the conference.
8. Discover more about the people attending the conference. When you see an interesting Tweet, simply click on that person to see their other IDs and profiles across the social web, including pictures and videos. And to find out if that person will be at a party, check the parties stream or perform a Twitter search (e.g. +party +Friday) in that person’s stream.
9. Analyze Twitter activity by reviewing integrated reports. SXSW events have a higher concentration of Twitter power users, and PeopleBrowsr lets you keep track of activity such as who’s retweeting you, who’s retweeting your friends, and also who recently followed you.
10. Share Tweet searches. When you perform an interesting search on PeopleBrowser (e.g +party +Friday), you can instantly share the results with your friends in just one click.

Don’t let the interface overwhelm you when you first load it – we’ve pre-populated many “stacks” of information. You can add more and scroll left-right across your browser, and close the stacks that don’t interest you.
You can even be “two places at once” via the stacks if you follow the session tags that you are in, and the other one you wanted to be in!
This product is meant to be your “wing man” and give you details from your friends, or potential friends into other social networks that we connect them into. It’s a powerful tool once you start clicking on entries and users!
