It might be just about the last thing on your mind, but if you haven't started planning for next year's South By Southwest Interactive festival down in Austin, Texas, then now's the time. Why's that? The 2011 SXSW Panel Picker, the festival's interactive, crowd-sourced method for choosing the conference's panels, has opened today and will be accepting entries until early July.
Today at the South By South West festival in Austin, three finalists competed in the Microsoft BizSpark Accellerator finals in the "Innovative Web Technologies" category.
The companies, RecycleMatch, Siri and Skimble argued their positions on stage in front of three judges and tonight the winner will be announced at 6pm CST.
It's Monday and that means that the Interactive portion of SXSW is drawing closer and closer to its close tomorrow after a weekend of great talks, panels, parties and overall hoopla.

So if you're looking for some interesting panels to attend before you catch your flight home later this week, here's a run down of some of the remaining startup-related talks and events.
