<p style="text-align: justify;">Did you hear the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_boom" target="_blank">sonic boom</a> the evening of November 6<sup>th</sup>?  I did, but that was only because I was on hour 10 of my 12 hour drive from home in Tallahassee, FL to <a href="http://www.hrevolution.wetpaint.com/" target="_blank">HRevolution</a> in Louisville, KY.  Fifty or so HR bloggers and social media advocates came together for a two day event to share, discuss, eat, drink and be merry.  My experience was truly amazing.  I plan to have more details of the happenings in a later post, but first a self-indulgent top 20 list of things I learned about fellow HR bloggers.</p>
