NEW ORLEANS – The 34th annual AAN Convention is finally here and in full effect. Of course, this being New Orleans, so is the weather.
Welcome #AAN2011 attendees! Has it really been 10 years? You look great! It’s not normally this hot. <– #lieless than a minute ago via Twitter for iPhone

Though muggy and uncomfortable, the heat was met with mostly good humor from attendees.

Dave Olsen of HootSuite provided another presentation on using social media. He related it in terms most journalists found useful.

Because sessions were so informative and enjoyable, picking which to attend seemed to be hard choice, but it was actually win-win either way.
If you’re not @ the @SND design presentation, you’re missing something! Or your hearing about the census, which is prob. fun, too. #AAN2011less than a minute ago via Twitter for iPad Favorite Retweet Reply
