My Favorite Tweets from the SAP Sapphire Show 2009

At the SAP Sapphire 09 event, the tweets came fast and furious for anyone following #sapphire09. At one point, in fact, the #sapphire09 topic had trended into the top 10 Twitter topics, reportedly right near “Star Trek.”

Beyond the tweets about person-to-person logistics and polite ReTweets, I found some really interesting and funny 140-character-or-less tidbits. Here are my favorite tweets (mostly unedited) from the show (in chronological order):

@sbjet Is Twitter hurting conference attendance?? There are many folks live Tweeting #sapphire09, it almost like being there.

@rhirsch shook hands with leo apotheker last night at GC cocktail party. Note-to-self: practice ceo small talk #sapphire09.

@vlvl Did Hasso just say ‘sh*t’ anymore? #sapphire09 [Ed. Note: I added the *]

@ewH did Hasso just say he used to shoot arrows at birds as a kid? Hasso is on fire today…lovin’ it! #sapphire09

@mkrigsman Hasso speaks with the authority of one who is simply beyond reproach. A beautiful thing to see. #sapphire09

@rwang0 when you market from substance you have effect. when you market from lies, you fall flat. Hasso has substance.

@toppundit #Sapphire09 Filling out last of several Sapphire questionnaires. Not one asks meaningful questions. They want my opinion, but they don’t.

@dahowlett reckoning that some of my friends were seriously grinf**ked at #sapphire09. Will have to work on that one. [Ed. Note: I added the **; Still trying to figure out what that means.]

@amigic Notes from #sapphire09 :#4 There were booths that looked like saying: “If you’re not a min 6B $ customer that will $$$ a lot, don’t enter!”
