The least appropriate tweets from the big Twitter conference

*It's the "140 characters" conference in New York City today, and the attendees (and their followers) are tweeting like there is no tomorrow. People are complaining that they can't hear the speakers for the eager rattling of Twittering keyboards.

*And what are they saying? Maybe 200 tweets a minute, and that's just with the
#140conf hashtag:

This place is a sea of laptops! #140conf is packed solid!

Blood sugar oddly skyrocketed after simple breakfast of cottage cheese and blackberries. Trying not to vomit at #140conf. Ughff.

OK - the tidal wave of #140conf tweets has caused me to fall over... and I can't get up. Taking a break.

We are crashing everything here... @johnborthwick's server, Twitter search, PC #140conf

Hmmm so you have to signup, download software to see the live #140conf, then get a message "140 characters is not broadcasting"? #FAIL

This is the only time I've been to a #broadway theater where they haven't ripped me a new one for having my phone on #140conf

just did the "I'm really not that late why are there no seats and if that videographer yells at me I'm going to screech" dance #140conf ...
