Tweeting From the Skoll World Forum

Published March 23, 2009 @ 11:15AM PT

Over the next week, I'll be Tweeting and blogging live from the Skoll World Forum. I'll kick off my formal coverage tomorrow, but wanted to start by posting links to some of the folks in my Twitter feed who will also be live-Tweeting the event.

To keep track of all of it, go to http://search.twitter.com and search for either "Skoll" or the official tag #SWF09

Thanks for this great post. I am a relatively new twitterer and extremely new blogger. I hope to post tweets and blogs at the upcoming Council on Foundations conference. Any tips you can share about *how* to tweet and blog efficiently and effectively while at a conference? Thanks! -- Kris Putnam-Walkerly @Philanthropy411
