  “ (Not sure on attendance numbers - looked like maybe 60-70?) Good talk - learned about some successful non-profit initiatives using Twitter that I hadn't heard of previously. Could have been a tad more dynamic perhaps - needed maybe a seasoned speaker to take an active role21 and keep things flowing and interesting? ”
- Gadjo Sevilla
  
  “ Great and informative talk with a good selection of speakers whio covered each of their topics well despite the time limit. Some comments, the venue was way too warm to be comfortable and many guest were fanning themselves and complaining about the heat but nothing was (could be?) done about this. Also, it would have been good to allot Q and A time after each speaker. Organzers decided to save all the questions until the end of the talk which was inconvenient as you loose your train of thought. i had to skip out early and did not get a chance to field any questions. It was quite clever that some attendees were live Tweeting the event which really aided the whole iprocess. I was able to "follow" the talks even as I was on a streetcar. ”

  “ Now I see that Twitter is a powerful tool to engage the community... ”

  “ The panel was informative however the questions were left until the end and that extended the session longer than expected. ”
- Julianna Yau
  
  “ Great panelists and mix of panelists ”
- Sue
  
  “ the presentations were good but I thought the event was going to be more about the nuts and bolts of using twitter - there were only about ten people (myself included) who currently were using twitter, and so recommendations about using hash tags isn't helpful if your audience doesn't know what hash tags are. I hope there's another one on how to use it. Interesting presentations though! ”
- Marc Lachance
  
  “ I have no experience with Twitter, so the introduction was a good idea and well done. I was amazed at how much could be accomplished in so little time. I will have to investigate. ”
