Hi all,

On Friday I started microblogging [1] (long overdue) and I wondered
whether there are many open knowledge/content/data people out there
that I should connect with? Any lurkers?

I've started using #opendata, #pdcalculators, #wdmmg and #ckan tags.
Would love to hear more about how people currently use microblogging
and whether anyone has any suggestions about how we could start to use
it more effectively! E.g. would it be worth having dedicated
microblogs for different projects? (E.g. package updates from CKAN?)
Should we start to pull certain tags to new accounts that people can
follow (e.g. #opendata)?

Seems like there's lots we could do here to use this technology more
effectively. Especially in connecting up and making more visible what
other open content/data people are doing!
