China Trip -- Twitter "Travelog" of Dalian and Shanghai
Last week I traveled to China for two days of planning meetings in Shanghai getting ready for SAP TechEd Shanghai as well as a day in Dalian to work with the team there to support our upcoming plans to provide greater local support on SDN, BPX, and the Business Objects Community to the Asia Pacific region - particularly Chinese and Japanese language. During the trip, I was regularly sending text and photo Twitter messages to keep colleagues and friends updated. I thought you might be interested in both the content and the process. It was an experiment, but would be great to have others give it a try as well!
