Interesting 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:
#scio10

  • Geologic Photo Tips

    One of my favorite things is taking photos of geologic features. In 12 years of doing that and putting them online here, I've learned a few tricks and tips . This photo illustrates one of the best: get there during the morning or evening "golden hour" for the best light. Most of the other tips in th ...

  • The Threat from Kivu

    No, this isn't about a mysterious cosmic visitor that will cause the world to end in 2013. It's about Lake Kivu in Africa, a large rift-valley lake that straddles the Rwanda-Congo border.
