[open-government] International Open Data Hackathon twitter hashtag

[Tim Davies]

Hey all

In my experience short tags work best; but backed up by someone actively
watching for people asking what the tag means and/or regularly posting
something with a clear link that will help people unsure of what the tag is
about to find out more...

So - my vote would be for #odhd

Enough people will, of their own choice, use #odhd along with #opendata (and
#hackday) when space allows, to give the casual #opendata tag observer a way
into the #odhd tag - whilst not leading to an overwhelming of the #opendata
tag with things about a specific event/activity.

All the best

Tim
