A while ago I moved from taking real notes to live-tweeting events, workshops, and conferences. The only issue is that I often forget to compile the tweets into something I can refer to later.
So here are my “notes” from this year’s Podcamp San Antonio. Of course, this is more for my benefit than yours.

enough business to go around. #pcsa4
