Judging from what I’ve been seeing on Twitter, the second day of the LATISM conference in Chicago was a complete success. I wish I was there but thanks to todays social media technology myself and others who couldn’t make it as well can watch the presentations live stream on LATISM’s website or read content coming from Twitter. It seems like everybody enjoyed the event. Below are some great news, tips and ideas that I curated from the Tweets. If you want to follow along on Twitter go to the hashtags #latism or #latism11. For more information about the conference, go to LATISM’s website. Go see the third day of tweets.
