&lt;p&gt;We&amp;#39;ll publish the schedule for the topics, including &amp;quot;Competitors in Cyberspace: Why Be Friends?&amp;quot;, soon.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Welcome to Twitter! I&amp;#39;m glad you got a kick out of us at Synopsys following you. Let me assure you, there are real people behind our tweets - we are not a bunch of &amp;#39;bots or an auto-following app. Yes, Twitter is an amazing communication channel, and I get a lot from it as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since we&amp;#39;re on the subject of social media, would you like to join me in a conversation at DAC about competitive behavior in the blogosphere? I&amp;#39;m inviting my favorite competitors - that includes you! Here&amp;#39;s more info: &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/CJ8tA" rel="nofollow" target="_new"&gt;http://bit.ly/CJ8tA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hope to see you at DAC,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Karen&lt;/p&gt;
