Live Tweeting from Under the Radar
November 20, 2009 by Lisa Oshima | UncategorizedI attended Under the Radar conference yesterday, and it was a great event. I got some good feedback on my tweets, so I thought I’d recap them here (for those of you who don’t use Twitter), as I did for the Verizon Developer Conference back in July:
The events kicked off with a reception on Wednesday night in which I tweeted: “Fun night @ Under the Radar. Good meeting @august & @greggrunberg from @yowza, @JasonFreedman from Flight Caster, & many others!”
