Just a quick note, if you’re a Twitter-aholic, that, for whatever reason, Sunday seemed the perfect day for the first TWTRCON, a conference, as is becoming all the rage, about Twitter. You can follow what speakers ranging from @guykawasaki to @mchammer are saying at #twtrcon. This time around, the conference theme is about using Twitter for business, which, yes, I admit, leads to the inevitable question of why @mchammer, he of the 725,000 followers, is there. Well, he’s on the “Building Your Personal Brand” panel. I love Twitter, but I won’t be following this. It’s too nice a day.
