You helped make the 2013 TABS and TPOBC Seminar the best one ever! I am excited to see what TABS, TPOBC, Project CHANGE, and the NFB of Texas will accomplish as we work together to change what it means to be blind. As promised, I have compiled a list of my 20 most favorite tweets from this weekend, some are inspiring, some are witty, and some are just plain funny. You tweeted over 400 tweets about the seminar, and made our presence well known throughout the Twitterverse. So without further ado, here are my top 20 picks!
