*What are tags & hashtags?
Tags are keywords used to identify information online. Tagging is an
alternative to putting things in folders. Many online tools such as blogs
take advantage of tagging to help us (re)locate resources.
For example, bookmarks (favourite websites) saved by teaching day
participants who use the ‘delicious’ bookmarking tool can be found
here: http://delicious.com/tag/lsetd10
A hashtag is specific to Twitter and is prefixed by #. Twitter is used at
conferences as a communication ‘backchannel’, a way for participants
to share information, ask questions & make contact during the event.
