Missed Google's G-Ghana? Find out what happened through these tweets #gghana

I missed the G-Ghana - Google event/conference in Ghana. Of course, I wasn't in Ghana but I also missed taking part through Twitter. Bummer. But that's why I follow some awesome people on Twitter who were going to keep me informed anyway. And because you follow my blog and happen to chance upon my blog through various means, Facebook and even Google itself, you can be a part of G-Ghana. I have some awesome tweets about G-Ghana #GGhana.

Now one thing Twitter needs to do is figure out a way to show the timeline from earliest tweet down to the latest tweet. Wow, isn't that an idea? Sadly, someone is gonna come see this and make money of it. Eureka! I just had an epiphany. I should stop blogging, because people will read my thoughts, have eureka moments and go make money of it before I can even say "'the'; thetime is now". Sigh. But hey, we want to see great things happen for the betterment of mankind. I want to see things happen for the betterment of my pocket and these are all leading to that. Best believe. Let's go. Yɛnkɔ!

In fact, reading through these tweets, there's so much information in there. Some things I knew, others I didn't. Thanks so much to Ato-Kwamena Kubi, Edward Amartey-Tagoe, Yawa Hansen-Quao and the others for tweeting the info. Also major thanks to Googlers Estelle Sowah, Paa Kwesi Imbeah, Ohene Kwasi Ohene-Adu and Aneto Okonkwo for organizing the G-Ghana event. Major props to Jojoo Imbeah for helping with it too.

I learnt my lesson during BarCamp Ghana 2009 that tweets don't last forever. Can't find those #bcghana09 tweets now. Here's why I have saved some great tweets with the #Gghana hashtag. The tweets bring up a lot of issues, some of which I'll try and blog about later. Here are some selected #gghana tweets below.
