Comments on: A Modest Twitter Idea for Hashtags http://cogdogblog.com/2009/05/23/hashtag-directory/ Alan Levine's space for barking about and playing with technology Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:29:36 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Kristina Hoeppner http://cogdogblog.com/2009/05/23/hashtag-directory/comment-page-1/#comment-69517 Kristina Hoeppner Sun, 14 Jun 2009 16:22:34 +0000 http://cogdogblog.com/?p=3700#comment-69517 That's a brilliant idea, Alan. It would also help to find events if only one person defined the hashtag. otherwise, you do get a lot of tweets on the event, but if Google etc. has not picked up the web site yet, you are bound to never find it (unless one of the attendees sends you the link via Twitter after you asked for it). Maybe in addition, tags could be provided for those who do not know the hashtag and the event / definition. Furthermore, tinyURLs and their original should be published.

I was thinking there might evolve a whole micro syntax command language. Of course, these are just floating ideas that need both someone to build a web parser as well as a good number of people to use it. Anyone want to .define #hashtagdirectory Get the ball rolling? Awesome. I was thinking there might evolve a whole micro syntax command language.

Anyone want to .define #hashtagdirectory Get the ball rolling?

One suggestion: Use .define instead of define That way, we can have a general .command syntax. Which allows: .rdf #brothers @bill;@ted .play #wedding tinyurl/movie .form tinyurl/action text:should nixon resign? etc. That’s a neat idea. One suggestion:

Has the advantage that it reuses the concept of a hash tag (in this case, a meta hash tag!) and is little shorter. Perhaps #def: to make a definition?
