social networking and twitter

[Chris Corrigan]

Michael:

So basically in twitter, the tagging convention is to add a hash mark in
front of a word.  So if you make a tweet talking about Barack Obama and you
tag it with #obama, it will show up in a query on that tag (here for
instance http://twitter.com/search?q=%23obama&source=navbar&category=search)
That query page also produces an RSS feed, same as the other tags we use at
flickr and around the blogosphere (openspacetech).  Wordpress has plug ins
that will publish twitter feeds on a blog sidebar so if we ever wanted to
show Open Space practitioner tweets on the osw sidebar (tagged with
#openspacetech for example) it shouldn't be too hard.

That's the theory anyway.  Question is really whether enough people are
using it or see utility in using it, and I guess that remains to be seen.
Perhaps those of us that do tweet OST related stuff could start using the
#openspacetech tag (#OST is already in use) and we could see what happens.
So I'll start tagging tweets that way.  Here's the first tweet on the new
query page: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=openspacetech
