#tx7 - let’s talk about TX District 7 directly!
Friday, August 15th, 2008You’ve already heard about the exciting #dontgo movement (read some background here), a ‘hashtag’ used by folks on the micro-blogging site Twitter to categorize conversation about calling Congress back to vote on important energy issues.
But let’s focus our Twitter conversations even more directly on the 7th District here in Texas by using a different tag: #tx7
If you live elsewhere, use the same format when discussing your Congressional district to make it easier to track: # [your state abbreviation] [your district number]
By organizing our online conversations like this, you help your Representatives have an easier time tracking dialogue going on about their district with you. Want to see what others are saying about your District? Check out search sites like Summize/Twitter search (www.search.twitter.com) or Tweetscan (www.tweetscan.com) to search for your part of the country!
Be sure to follow @hashtags for your Twitter comments to be properly documented online (thanks to @xtopher42 for the reminder!).
