Dear Followers:
As I said in my previous blog post, @ConnectColorado tries to tweet positive messages or to help the Colorado community in a positive way through Twitter. I try not to tweet bad news, political news, etc. that you get way too much of anyway.
I am starting some new hashtags on @ConnectColorado, and I want to explain why.
New hashtag #1 - #COMissing = Colorado Missing Persons
Twitter is a very powerful tool and just a moment of your time could help someone to find their loved one. A couple of years ago, the son of a friend of mine went missing. He was 19 years old and had a medical condition. I learned about how difficult it was for parents of adults to get help finding their loved ones. My friend's son was murdered - all for an Xbox, but it was possible he could have been found alive with more "eyes" looking for him. That is why I want to do this. I will be using only verified resources, by the way.
New hashtag #2 - #COHistory = Colorado History
Tweets about Colorado's rich (and often fun) history have been very popular on @ConnectColorado so the hashtag will help to find them all in one place. If you have a #COHistory tweet, be sure to tell me!
New hashtag #3 - #COEvent = Colorado Events
I don't tweet about ALL types events. They have to be for community good, arts & culture, nonprofit fundraising, etc. I consider the community value of the information. But if you have an event, let me know.
Old Hashtags I have used:
In the past, I started a couple of fun hashtags:
#ToCatchaDoGooder - is to highlight good deeds done by followers. If you see a do-gooder tweet, let me know!
#OurHope4CO - is used for Our Hope for Colorado Day, which I started this year
A note about Follow Friday #FF
I really appreciate all of the Follow Friday mentions from my followers! I do need you to know, however, that I don't RT all #FF mentions. I ONLY #FF Colorado peeps, because I only follow Colorado peeps. But I do mention everyone who does #FF me.
Every day is charity day on @ConnectColorado though. If you are trying to raise money for your favorite charity, please let me know!
Thank you all for following @ConnectColorado.
