While the big guy was in Vegas playing poker vacationing networking and speaking, the rest of us were holding down the fort and living vicariously through the awesome live tweeting from the likes of Lauren Litwinka, Tony Verre and Eric Enge. But not matter who we were monitoring the tweets were flying by so fast it was really hard to catch them all. So we took some time to go back over the history of the pubcon hashtag and grabbed all the tweets we thought gave some good insight as well as some humor. We got it down to one hundred tweets.
Did you know that the Pork Belly Association hired Edward Bernays to sell more bacon? That explains my love for PR and bacon. #PubCon

If you’re up for further reading of the sessions Search Engine Journal did an awesome job collecting a mix of live blogging and recaps from a variety of sources including Outspoken Media, Aimclear, Bruce Clay and many others. If you’ve got a tidbit that wasn’t listed you thought was awesome we’d love to read about it in the comments!
Awesome list. Miss it already!
I can only imagine, I was checking the #seschi stream and a lot of the speakers that were at pubcon vegas are there too. I can’t even begin to think what kind of traveling that must be like.
Tip-top round up, my friend
Wish you were there!
If it was tip-top is was due to the aimclear team’s awesome tweets. I’ll try to make it next year!
