Once again, I wasn’t able to attend Online Retailer 2012 in Sydney *sad face*.
So I followed the tweets on Twitter with the hashtag #orec12.
I’ve been super busy at work so I kinda ended up curating the tweets in one big lot as opposed to day by day so it’s taken a while and I’m sure there’s some random tweets in there but for the most part, it’s all great – even if it’s in the order of most recent tweets to the oldest – there’s plenty of wonderful insights and tips so get stuck in!
Enjoy.
