POST Method
P is People. Know the capabilities of your audience. Know what scaffolding they’ll need.
O is objectives. Pick one. Decide on your objective before you decide on a technology. Then figure out how you will measure it.
S is Strategy. Figure out what will be different after you're done. Imagine you succeed. How will things be different afterwards? Imagine the endpoint and you'll know where to begin.
T is Technology. A community. A wiki. A blog or a hundred blogs. Once you know your people, objectives, and strategy, then you can decide with confidence.

Hashtags vs Mentions
Hashtags have # in front of them (no spaces allowed) Hashtags are like signposts to content
Mentions start with @ followed by a person or organization’s twitter name (no spaces allowed)
Mentions help connect people who tweet (tweeple?) Mentions are like sign posts to other people who tweet
4747
Hashtags are Ephemeral
Hashtags lose their value if they are not used often. If using a hashtag for a short term event it’s a good
idea to archive the content so it can be found later Two tools
