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=se

Yup...the tag counts, but Twwetdeck, the software I use to twitter has several handy ways for shortening posts and links, so it's still usually plenty of characters for a tweet. c On Mon, Mar 30, 2009 at 11:23 AM, Michael Herman wrote: > thanks, chris. that helps. if even a small group of twee

I endorse that wholeheartedly. If you look at my Twitter steam (that is, posts or tweets I've made) http://twitter.com/ideastosuccess you'll see one of the ways that Twitter can be used - to help your followers (benign stalkers, you could say) keep up with the latest thinking on a topic, in this
