On Twitter use #cwd or #CheeseWeaselDay tags when you give a "Thank You" shout out to your techie Tweeps

This Cheese Weasel Day, use Twitter to send your greetings and thanks to your techie friends using an @mention of them on the network. If you use the hashtags #cwd or #CheeseWeaselDay your greeting will also show up on the official CWD website twitter feed (see right column). Wouldn’t it be great to have gratitude become a trending topic on Twitter.

New to using hashtags on Twitter. Here’s the DL from Twitter on them.

Hashtags: a Twitter community creation

Because Twitter provided no easy way to group tweets or add extra data, the Twitter community came up with their own way: hashtags.  A hashtag is similar to other web tags- it helps add tweets to a category.  Hashtags have the ‘hash’ or ‘pound’ symbol (#) preceding the tag, like so: #traffic, #followfriday, #hashtag.  Hashtags can occur anywhere in the tweet: some people just add a # before a word they’re using.

It’s just another part of the fun of Cheese Weasel Day. While you are thinking about Twitter, why not follow us @CheeseWeaselDay too? Thanks!

Cheese Weasel Day Tradition: Place a slice of cheese under the mouse pad of your techie friends with a thank you note as a way to show your appreciation for all they do.
