Billions With Zero Knowledge - Austin Hill, Entrepreneur & Angel Investor

Last year at TED I posted a small list of TEDsters who were Twittering the conference.

I hadn’t planned on posting an updated guide of TEDsters & Twitter this year since I assumed that most people would be using http://search.twitter.com to track #TED, TED or TED2009 keywords to track the conversation.

After seeing the recent spike in search traffic to last years Twitter TED guide, I’ve decided to update the list of people I know are Twittering the TED conference this year. Some of these people are posting more often then others and many are not including the #TED hashtag.

I hope this will also allow TEDsters to connect with each other, since many of us may not have had the chance to exchange Twitter names. It might help us know who are the Tweeters in our neighborhood.

If you’ve been left of the list and are Twittering at the TED conference, leave a comment with your Twitter username or just @austinhill me on Twitter.
