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

Fri Feb 8 17:37:07 GMT 2013

My two cents:

1. #OpenDataDay is longer but allows pickup from people searching or
tracking #OpenData.

2. #OpenDataDay is also timeless and less confusing compared to #ODHD13.

Overall, I don't believe in rules around this stuff. Let the people decide
and choose. May the best hashtag win. = )
