For those of you who aren’t very familiar with Twitter, many times there will be a hashtag that people place inside their Tweets so that others can follow a particular topic. For example, those who are saying something about Earth Day will include “#earthday” in their Tweet. Here is a link to the most recent #earthday tweets.
During the NCAA Tournament, I found it useful to follow the #marchmadness tag and appropriately tag my tweets regarding that issue. I found that some people even tagged their tweets with #marchmadness and the team they were following (ie #wisconsin). It was fun to look back at all the instant responses to Trevon Hughes’ buzzer beater.
Lately, I’ve started using my own tag that I hope will eventually take off. I listen to music at work and I started Twittering about any album I decided to listen to next. I’ve started tagging it #cubemusic. As you can see, it hasn’t exactly taken off yet. The only people who have started using it are my co-workers, @strivinglife and @danconderman. So, I’m going to keep checking those search results to see if anyone else starts using #cubemusic. I have 70 followers, so someone’s bound to pick it up eventually. Until then, feel free to follow me, along with my music choices at work, on Twitter @rmlumley.
