Top Things I Twittered from WebmaterWorld's Pubcon

I am at WebmasterWorld's Pubcon, and instead of taking notes just for me, I live Twittered everything I learned. If you don't follow me on Twitter here are the highlights, in Twitter format.

Also interesting to note, Twitter was the dominant theme of the conference from the opening keynote featuring internet entrepreneur Guy Kawasaki and the nicest guy on Twitter Chris Brogan through to my talk on 'The Intersection of Search and Social'.
