Twitter Hash Tags for the Regionals

Hi Everyone,

This one is for the twitter users out there. Perhaps some of you have followed the presidential election, or inauguration night using Twitter Search. What you end up with especially for live events is a pretty cool real-time or near-realtime back channel discussion of that live event. To see an example of hash tags in action goto http://search.twitter.com/ and type in: #frc

So here's what I'm thinking maybe we could agree beforehand on a standard system for tagging the various regionals, etc. One thought I had is perhaps do something like #frcwk1 #nh this way if you search for #frcwk1 one you'd see everything being talked about for week 1 regionals and if you did #frcwk1 #nh you'd see only stuff about the NH regional.

Also don't forget about sites like twitpic that allow you to upload photos to twitter in near-realtime which could be useful for scouting, etc.

Just some thoughts hopefully fellow twitter addicts like myself will chime in.

Good Luck Everyone!!

-Justin
