[open-data-day] Open Data Day Twitter hashtag: #opendataday (or #ODHD13?)

[David Eaves]

Hi Billy,

Thank you for that email. We actually did a poll last year and the #ODHD13 (then #ODHD12) won out by a large margin, so I'm inclined to stick with it as well. Some people felt #opendataday was too long. 

But I'm sure people will use both, and it won't be okay! :)

I'm a little concerned that many folks have already adopted #ODHD13 as the preferred hash tag, and that a change may be best implemented with consensus between all the hackathon organizers.  I'm all for easy-to-remember has tags and marking, so maybe using both when tagging tweets and posts is a way to keep things simple and understandable at this point.
