Quotes

• “Almost everyone in this session has tweetdeck open or is tapping away on a phone. And it’s totally appropriate”

• “Amazing use of social media, accessability, connectivity. Set the bar VERY high for all future conferences”

• “If you have no social media account you are no one”• “I think just looking at the twitter stream gives a

skewed idea of what people really think is interesting or noteworthy”
