‏These days, some of the best summaries of the learnings you get from an info-packed, four-day conference, can be found in the magical land of Twitter.

Why? Because people are always compelled to post facts, quotes and statistics in 140 character form. When you’ve got little space to fill, you want to pack a lotta’ punch.

Check out some of the tweets below from the eTail Boston 2012 show that just wrapped yesterday. You’ll get some good snippets, some of which are informative, some make you think and some just make you laugh (especially if you were there and can remember the joke).
