Greetings from sunny South Barrington, IL. I’m over at Willow Creek Community Church for the Leadership Summit 2009, working with the Willow Creek Association and helping run all the viral stuff throughout the conference. This year’s Summit has so much in store: TONS of great speakers including Tony Blair, Bono, Bill Hybels, Gary Hamel, Tim Keller, and many many more!

Almost simultaneous with the start of the first session, thousands of Twitter users (myself included!) were online sharing thoughts and dialoging about the Summit. Twitter’s service, however, underwent the beginning of a continuing hacker attack, one of Twitter’s worst ever. Currently Twitter is still down, and millions of “Tweeters” all over the world are without their precious Tweets!

It’s funny that this “attack” has coincided with the Leadership Summit at a time when Twitter users have made the Summit the TOP trending topic on Twitter. Hopefully Twitter will be back online soon, and we’ll be able to get back to business! If you’re curious to follow the Summit on Twitter, see twitter.com/leadersummit. If you’re tweeting, join the dialog with the #TLS09 hash tag.
