Well, the countdown to the SGF09 event began (at least according to an email I saw this morning). For those attending; the educational, networking and entertainment opportunities abound. But for those of you who are unable to attend, I found an interesting article from a fellow twitterer that you might find interesting:

Mr. Jones reminds us that even if you can't attend the event, you can still experience the event in short bursts.

To make it simple for those not yet ready to signup for Twitter, I have gone ahead and taken all of the acclaimed twitters from the SASGlobalForum Cloudvine application and added them to a feed.

This is available to everyone at: http://friendfeed.com/sasglobalforum
http://www.netvibes.com/sasglobalforum09 is now available and is even cooler than friendfeed!

Watch this during the conference to get an idea of what the attendees are experiencing & learning.
