One of the things that made ZZIF so engaging this year was the constantly evolving and often entertaining twitter stream at the event. For that we can largely thank Blaine Millet (@BlaineMillet) of Social Media for Executives (http://www.someexec.com/) and Clay Loges of http://www.yodio.com/ for furnishing a terrific play-by-play of the event - useful for those in the room AND those who couldn't make it but were following along via Twitter. I know the 28 presenters appreciated it and so did we!We were also entertained throughout the day with a series of colorful tweets from Tom Ryan (@athenachief), Jesse Proudman (@blueboxjesse), Detlef Schrempf (@Dschrempf), John Cook of TechFlash (@johnhcook) and a few others. Here are some of our favorites - we won't attribute the sources here, but if you're really curious, you can see the whole day in tweets by searching for #zzif at http://www.twitter.com/.
The audience at ZZIF is having a tough time knowing when to clap today. Methinks we need an Applause sign that lights up.
