Hi all, In light of my rapid withdrawl from Facebook due to its ever-growing appetite for privacy destruction, I've started to make more use of Twitter. This has actually proven useful in a way not imagined. I was able to use twitter to sort out a tech support problem with my mobile phone and eliminated finger-pointing between carrier and phone maker. (I'm still not crazy about SonyEricssen, but I respect them more today because of this service.) Anyway... one thing that escapes me is how tags are chosen for things. Does the SF ICANN meeting have an "official" tag? Are there multiple parallel ones (ie, #ICANN40, #ICANNSF, etc)? As an experiment I plan to tweet from my meetings; any tips or suggestions are welcomed. -- Evan Leibovitch, Toronto Canada Em: evan at telly dot org Sk: evanleibovitch Tw: el56

Hi Evan, Ideally, a conference organiser will recommend a hashtag before its conference which attendees can then use. ICANN doesn't seem to have recommended a specific hashtag for any of its previous conferences ; ICANN's twitter feed uses "#ICANN 40" and ICANN's Twitter activity page at http://svsf40.icann.org/ is http://twitter.com/search?q=icann So using "#ICANN" is best for anyone searching for ICANN related tweets and "#ICANN 40" to link it to ICANN San Francisco. Kind Regards, Dev Anand Teelucksingh On Fri, Mar 11, 2011 at 4:29 PM, Evan Leibovitch <evan@telly.org> wrote:

Should we bother to tell them that spaces don't work in twitter hashtags? #GrandpaIsTweetingAgain -- Neil Schwartzman Executive Director CAUCE The Coalition Against Unsolicited Commercial Email, North America Inc. http://cauce.org http://twitter.com/cauce IM: caucecanada Tel.: +1 (303) 800 6345
