San Francisco is awash this week with talk of “heterogeneous/hybrid cloud landscapes,” “software acquisition strategies,” “integrations and visualization needs” and much much more. On Thursday morning, day three of this week’s annual Dreamforce tech fest, hundreds lined up to try and catch the keynote by former President Obama, just the latest in a string of crowd-crushes that have made the South of Market neighborhood feel like a sardine can.
And along the way, event organizers and attendees tried to capture their excitement by posting their brains out on social media.
Take this siting of Game of Thrones star (and Dreamforce speaker) Emilia Clark, who was in the news just this week for a brouhaha over her legendary GOT nude scenes.

The Twitter hashtags were flying, with at least one attendee posting a #WaitingForObama tweet as she waited for Obama . . .
