Transcript of Blogathon wrap party chat
Thanks to Hashtracking.com for archiving this transcript of the blogathon wrap party chat. I started using Hashtracking after TwapperKeeper went away. For more about their services visit their website: Hashtracking.com.
The transcript is in chronological order, so the first tweets are first. Please note: close to 900 tweets were exchanged during the chat, so this is a really long file. I realize that some characters are dropping off the right side of some tweets and am working on fixing that. You can also see the transcript on the Hashtracking website here.
