Hashtag, You're IT!

Hey everyone! Even though I'm in New York City enjoying the fat confused squirrels and the freezing cold temps, I've been able to keep up with OMMA Global Hollywood - through this blog from our awesome MediaPost writers and through Twitter.

But what, how through Twitter? First, for official agenda snippets, you'll want to follow twitter.com/mediapostlive - and not just for OMMA Global Hollywood; this is the Twitter stream you can tune into for info on upcoming shows, calls for award show submissions, important deadlines, early bird specials - the works. We'll create a specific hashtag (you know, those little word chunks with the "#" sign in front of them? They denote a conversation thread/common theme and are easily searchable!) for each show and promote them through /mediapostlive. For example, I hope you're all using #ommagh for OMMA Global Hollywood. If you're not, get on it!

I didn't realize until today that you'd be wanting (say that like you're Irish) some segmented hashtags for the track sessions and sponsored workshops. Here you go:

For tomorrow's Track Sessions: [the shows within the show]

Behavioral: #ommaghbt Performance: #ommaghperf Email: #ommaghemail Publish: #ommaghpub Gaming: #ommaghgame Search: #ommaghsearch Metrics: #ommaghmetric Social: #ommaghsocial Mobile: #ommaghMobile Video: #ommaghvideo

And! If you're attending the open to tall attendees sponsored workshops and planning to tweet, use the following hashtags:

Ripple6 sponsored workshop: #ommaghripple Platform-A sponsored workshop: #ommaghplatform Wyndstorm sponsored workshop: #ommaghwyndstorm Cooliris sponsored workshop: #ommaghcooliris

Hashtags are great because after the show, you can go to http://search.twitter.com, slap the specific hashtag (like our own OMMA Global Hollywood hashtag #ommagh) into the search field and see what everyone has been saying throughout the show!
