Twitter and NGS 2010

Kathryn Doyle asked a very good question. Do we have an official hashtag for NGS 2010? The answer is not yet. But let's create one right now. how about #NGS2010--too obvious? Leave your comments with any ideas you think might be better. We'll firm it up next week. In addition the lovely and talented Gayathri over at NGS has created a twitter account for official announcements, etc. Please add "ngsgenealogy" to your list of people you're following.

Twitter is a great way for attendees at the conference to share their experience both with other attendees and those that can't make it this year. Please remember, however, to use common sense and courtesy when tweeting during lectures. Always ask the lecturer prior to the lecture if they mind if you tweet during the lecture. Also try not to disrupt those around you. That being said I can think of no better way to share ideas on the spot. Let's start twittering!

  1. Mark Tucker suggested #NGS10 so you are on the same page. Is shorter better?

  2. I think NGS10 is great. Shorter is always better (says the woman who's five feet tall :D)

  3. I couldn't find ngsgenealogy on Twitter when I searched just now. I also searched for National Genealogical Society and did not find NGS. What am I doing wrong? This is from a guy who knows just enough about computers and the web to fumble around and who is constantly trying to catch up with the rest of you!
