I had a slew of client-related work to do this week, and was unable to attend the excellent Mashable Media Summit in NYC yesterday. How do I know it was good? Because I watched/listened to much of the streaming and then saw a slew of amazing aha moments in tweets from the day-long event. There's a lot of insights / commentary on the state of the web and technology in those tweets.
However, curating and distilling it was another matter. Fortunately there are re-tweets. And interns. And thus spawned a team approach to pulling together a collection of good tweets from the event.
Thanks to our intern Amy Lord for separately going through tweets during the conference and highlighting ones that jumped out at her. Thanks also to those twitter curators who happily re-tweet and expand the audience of great ideas that get sent through this medium.
These are in no particular order, however, we think that at least a couple of these will prove valuable to you. If they don't feel free to tell us what we missed or why you didn't like any of these in the comments. Of course, you're also welcome to expound upon any of the tweets below the video.
