Web 2.0 summit discusses advantages of Twitter

The Web 2.0 Summit is being held in San Fransisco from October 20th – 22nd with a wide variety of speakers, events, presentations and more. Some key speakers at the summit include Twitter CEO Evan Williams, Comcast CEO Brian Roberts, and Vice President of Engineering at Facebook, Mike Schroepfer.

A lot of attention is being placed on how various companies praise Twitter as a groundbreaking tool. Comcast CEO Brian Roberts even explained how Twitter has “changed the culture of our company.”
