TechEd Twitter Accounts:

• @TechEd_NA – the official feed.  Retweets planners and vendors, runs contests now and then.
• @RobNic_TechEd – Twitter feed for a TechEd planner.  You can check his photos to see the swag like the water bottle and backpack.
• @TheKrewe – hard-partying TechEd attendees with a private Facebook page that denied me entry.  See, you guys think I have all kinds of inside connections, and I can’t even get into a damn Facebook page.  Famous my rear.

Did I miss anything?  Is there anywhere I should be?  I might have missed some cool sessions – there’s just so many with conflicting times.  So many sessions, so little time…
