#GGRC09 Day 1, Part 2 (gazing at the Twitter-stream)

The Twitter Stream….#GGRC09 tweets (between approximately 12noon-8:45pm, Tuesday, October 20/09)

Lots of folks sharing information and ideas and commentary via Twitter at this year’s Gaining Ground conference, Resilient Cities. I did a brief synopsis using tweets this morning. I’m too whacked right now to do a summary, so I’m just going to post the twitter stream for you to review. Some interesting stuff. Keep it coming!

See you tomorrow in real-time/real-space at #GGRC09 – or follow it by searching Twitter for #GGRC09!
