Hashtags - not just for Twitter!

Lib Dem Conference:
On Lib Dem Voice: Reportage | LDV Events | Contribute
On the official party website: Conference home | Vote-by-vote coverage

The Tweme site I have been linking to over the last few days to show how hashtags work also has a photo section which works with the photo sharing website www.flickr.com

So, when I uploaded this photo I took of the hardworking Voice team yesterday afternoon, (including volunteer Gavin Whenman, recently co-opted Voicer Helen Duffett, multiple-award winning Alix Mortimer and in the distance suitably aloof commissioning editor Stephen Tall) I tagged it with #LibDem08 and it showed up on the website along with all the exciting Twitters.

So, if you’re using Flickr from conference, please think about tagging your photos similarly and we can all share and share alike.

It would work equally well with del.icio.us as well, but - confession time - that’s a technological hurdle I haven’t quite cleared yet.

You, too, can join the growing team of conference reporters, and take advantage of our internet connection and free coffee. All you have to do in return is write up a fringe event or a debate for this website. And not hog the internet for too long as we only have a limited number of cables. To volunteer, email our conference go-to girl, Alix Mortimer,
