Twitter and Zappos Founders Summit on Economy in DC

A group of young business leaders are meeting with Obama's economic team. Latest tweet from Evan, ceo of Twitter:
Lessons from today: Obama's team: smart and committed. Learned a lot and was inspired. Also: people should take my tweets less seriously.
Bizjournals: Evan Williams, the co-founder of Twitter, has been summoned to a summit of 20 young business leaders in Washington D.C. to discuss the current economic crisis.

In a tongue-in-cheek tweet, Williams asked users for their input on what he should say: “Going to the White House tomorrow for a meeting about the economy (which must mean they’re *really* out of ideas). What should I ask them?”
See Evan on Twitter here and you can find Tony Hsieh of Zappos, the fabulous online shoe store, here. His tweets are actually pretty good, not promotional.
