6,000+

That's how many tweets went out during the first session of conference this morning with the tag #ldsconf.

Members of the "Twitter Stake" were busy sharing the words of the prophets with friends and followers at Twubs. Check it out in real time during any conference session.

If you too want to tweet about conference or start following other Mormons who tweet you need a Twitter account or a Twubs account. Then just start to tweet.

Here's what I managed to Tweet or Retweet on the way home from Cape May today.
