MozCon 2012 was awesome. It’s going to take me at least the next few weeks to fully process all the insane stuff I learned from the speakers, but I tried to capture some of the highlights in memes. If you missed MozCon this year, or just want to relive the glory, check out MozCon in Memes. Use the links below to skip to a specific day if you want.
