eBusiness Conference Roundup

Posted on Friday, December 11th, 2009 at 6:56 am.

Last week’s eBusiness Conference was a big success, and I think most delegates left with brain ache from all the new ideas presented in the Search Engine Optimisation and Social Media Marketing presentations.

I thought a quick summary of the buzz might be useful–

According to my count, there were more than 300 different tweets about what was happening on the day and I’ve picked out a few to highlight here:
