In a few hours another year will be behind us, and what a year it has been.  

2008 has seen me change jobs, take a radically different direction in the industry in which I work and start to get my personal life a little more organised.  Let’s see what 2009 has to offer.

Best wishes to you all.

A few days ago, I learned about hashtags and their role within the Twitter microblogging platform.  Very useful for some pruposes, although I accept that some people have issues with their use.

I thought I’d experiment with the service, and followed the instructions (basically, follow the hashtags user, wait for them to automatically follow you, and then create a new tag by prefacing a meaningful word an a tweet with a hash sign [that’s the one you crazy Americans call the pound sign ] ).

All was well until creating the tag.  Nothing happened.  No tag was created.  Perhaps I’m missing an important step here, but I just can’t get it to work.  Can anyone shed any light on where I may be going wrong?
