twitter hashtags:
(Because Twitter provided no easy way to group tweets or add extra data, the Twitter community came up with their own way: hashtags. A hashtag is similar to other web tags - it helps add tweets to a category. Hashtags have the 'hash' or 'pound' or “number” symbol (#) preceding the tag, like so: #traffic, #followfriday ...)
The
geotweeters, that is geoscience tweeters (on Twitter), have recently got their own hashtag:
#geotweeters
ScienceOnline2010, the fourth annual conference on science and the Web (including geoblogging), will be held on January 14-17th, 2010 and has this hashtag:

Yes, OleLog is now on Twitter. As I noticed that about half of the geoblogosphere were on Twitter, I thought it was time for me to make the big jump into the
“geotwittersphere“.
I have heard that it can be time-sucking, and I certainly do not want it to slow my blog posting and reading, so I shall probably only make minimal use of it. It needs a bit of experimenting to begin with, please excuse me if I should violate twitter etiquette.
It may not be that easy - while tweets are restricted to 140 characters, the British government needed 20 pages to explain ”what it is and how to use it“. That’ what bureaucrats are for, I suppose.
Anyway a tweet from you may a.o. be a quick way of telling me that I am writing rubbish. Experimentally my latest tweet will be shown at the top of my blog - I realise that whether that is a good or bad idea (handy or not) will depend on the content of my tweets (I’ve better be careful!)
As to useful applications: USGS is developing a system (the Twitter Earthquake Detector (
TED)) that gathers real-time, earthquake-related messages from Twitter and applies place, time, and quantity data to provide geo-located earthquake detection within 60 seconds of an event’s origin time. You can follow the project updates on Twitter
http://twitter.com/USGSted .
