With General Conference over with I thought it would be good to highlight some of the best tweets coming from the TwitterStake.
My criteria was as follows:
1. It wasn’t from my own Twitter account. I might be a shameless self-promoter but I’m not THAT shameless.
2. It efficiently explained something that was talked about during #LDSConf, had a neat picture or was funny.
3. No repeat Twitter accounts.
4. It caught my eye.
In other words, these tweets in many ways are arbitrary. Especially when you consider that none of us get paid and I’m simply not going to read through the hundreds of thousands of tweets.
It just ain’t gonna happen. Ain’t nobody got time for dat.
So, without further ado, here are the top 10 #LDSConf Tweets in no real order.

Look at the whole picture & make the gospel personal. You don’t need to know everything. Focus on what you DO know. #LDSConf

They say that sound doesn’t travel in outer space, but #ElderHolland‘s powerful “NO.” just reverberated through the solar system. #LDSconf

Of course I had to include the Cultural Hall in this list. It’s totally a requirement because everyone did such an excellent job tweeting during this last conference.
Honorable Mention… sort of
A certain BYU employee has gained a lot of attention for the following tweet.
Rather than making a judgement call on whether we should support statements like this or not, I’ll let you guys argue over it in the comment section.
I’ll just let this tweet speak for itself.
All I’ll say is it’s interesting he can say this with seemingly no backlash but I get in trouble for not shaving for a couple of days.
For those who oppose – go see your stake president then find me and oppose those beloved men in front of me and witness how I sin #realtalk

And there you go. The whole list.
Let us know if you think you found a tweet that deserves to be on this list but isn’t.
Hope to see everyone on the back row in the metal chairs in the TwitterStake Cultural Hall next Conference.
