The Best Tweets From ideacity: Day Three, Part Two

The afternoon session at Day 3 of ideacity2012 is the always popular potpourri session. There’s no particular theme, just a lot of captivating speakers sharing their ideas on a number of interesting subjects. First up was former politician Preston Manning who explained why our politicians need more training. Then we heard about the havoc sex-selection abortion is wrecking in India and China. Sean Aiken worked 52 jobs in 52 weeks and the Oysterman shared his love of mollusks. The final session of the day was dubbed The Beginning, headlined by Peter Diamandis discussing why the future may not be so bleak after all. A fitting way to end a fabulous conference.

Here are a selection of the top tweets from the thousands sent to @ideacitynews, #ideacity on the final day of ideacity 2012.
