This weeks Inman's conference in New York has many people here at home taking part in the events via the social networking sites we all know like Twitter, Flickr and of course our own Active Rain guru Brad Andersohl. Check out this link to his very cool FeedFuze and then click into one of the many links and you can see short notes about meetings, photos and find new people to follow on Twitter.

This live feed is almost as good as being there.  Well, okay I'm the first to admit it really is much better to be there in person, but it is an excellent live blogging platform to keep all of us who are not there aware of the interesting topics and discussions. 

When you look at this list are you wondering how all this is pulled together?  The Tweets are pulled together with the hashtag and you see it in each of the messages.  You can make a hashtag of anything and it pulls every message with that same hashtag for anyone to view.  For example there is #icny which is for Inman Conference New York and there is #rebc which is for Real Estate Bar Camp.

The important message here is you can do hashtags for anything.  Search at the bottom of the Twitter page for anything with a hashtag and the notes for that item all come up.  If you search for #semire  then you will find South Eastern Michigan Real Estate. Anyone can post with this hashtag and then find the tweet even by people who don't currently follow you in Twitter.

You could do a hashtag about anything!

Get the word out that something has a hashtag with it then it can be searched and kept together via Twitter.

Twitter On Folks!
