#TOCcon 2013 was incredible. My must-watch keynote highlights: @timoreilly http://t.co/GEQLoZcm and @intelfuturist http://t.co/g8ZBQ3W6 #

From #TOCcon "Disruptive innovations in emerging markets: @Mxit, @Siyavula, @Paperight and @Worldreaders" http://t.co/T600YgLy #

At #TOCCON @hughmcguire shows me latest from @pressbooks—fantastic. Will big pubs believe book+ebook production can be this easy and cheap? #
