Twitter Feed - NWA Business Conference & Expo

Even though the Business Conference & Expo is behind us, it's interesting to go back and look at the day's events and speakers through the words of others. Below is the Twitter feed of the attendees using the hashtag #2010nwabiz throughout the day. The user's Twitter handle is highlighted in orange. A lot of great information was learned and shared. You might want to start at the bottom and scroll your way up so you can read about what's happening in chronological order. Happy reading.
