Where Do I Start?

Digital Dealer Conference Tweets

Share With:

Twitter has quickly replaced note taking for several auto industry training professionals. While in attendance at the various conferences (i.e. J.D. Power Internet Roundtable – #jdpairt or the 7th Digital Dealer Conference – #dd7), in-the-know internet experts are sharing blurbs from the many sessions with others online. So I collected some conference tweets.

I was very pleased to see some acquaintances that attended my session had also shared with others a few of the talking points I discussed.  Below, you will see both the tweets I posted myself about the Digital Dealer Conference as well as other posts from my industry friends that attended. I’ve placed the tweets aout my session in bold.   Unlike Twitter, though, I will work from beginning to end.  (I was going to call this Digital Dealer 7 Tweets since it was the 7th Digital Dealer Conference, but I realized people may think I am crazy since there are more than 7 tweets here. Oh, well.)
