Asheville NC Hashtags for Twitter and Tweeting #asheville

Hashags are a great way to build community in the new Twitter Tweeting world that we now live in. When you add a hashtag to your tweets, you are labeling them for easy use. People can then go to these hashtags and search for a community bin of experiences, thoughts, ideas and reviews. This is perfect to use to track all of the local action going on about any certain subject. Here is a preview of a simple hashtag directory that we are building for the Asheville area. If you have an "avl" hashtag that you think should be included, feel free to send it over to us for consideration on our website contact form.

You can also use these types of hashtags for your local community. For example, you may want to use #wvlrestaurants for restaurants in the Weaverville North Carolina area, and #hvlmusic for music in Hendersonville North Carolina.

How Did Twitter Change Your Life?

I have been thinking about this for several days now and finally have a full rounded idea of how this is working. It used to be when we had or heard of some news, we sent it to one of the conduits available at the time, whether it was "back then" when we telephoned the local news station... or if it was even more recently in emailing our news to the TV stations and/or sending it via text messages.

News, and ways to receive it has changed dramatically even in the past 6 months. The actual news "paper" is in trouble. Television stations are showing old news by 11 o'clock in the evening. The Age of Twitter has come! People no longer have time for, or want to have to get the newspaper and read through a long drawn out article. The main news is in the headline... and then maybe a short subtitle, perfect for the 140 character Tweeting.

I thought about how Twitter.com/Jkrums got that photo of the airplane down in the Hudson around the world in moments. I was not waiting for the news, and I did not have to even wait for the online news feeds to get the story. Jkrums was there and so was I!

I was thinking last night how the future of news is going to change drastically in the next 12 months. News reporters and big video cameras are no longer needed. The best reporter a news station can hire in this new 2009 tech era is one who knows how to use a Smartphone (Blackberry in my case, but I want an ObamaBerry!) and a Flip Video Camera.

Asheville Custom Home Builders, LLC. heard about Twitter through AskAsheville.com and quickly grabbed the Asheville Home Builders url Twitter.com/AshevilleBuildr with the max amount of characters allowed. Nice. I was talking to Miss North Carolina International tonight, and she is the first (Numero Uno!) active Miss International to ever be represented on Twitter. Wow! Melissa's url is Twitter.com/MsNorthCarolina. This is a whole new day and age... and when somebody yells something new or high tech, you best listen my friend.

Asheville Twitter, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

Tweeting or Twittering in Asheville North Carolina is really picking up lately. For some, the question "What are you doing?" is too simple. For others they see fun, opportunity, and a way to bring the Asheville community even closer. We have recently set up an account www.Twitter.com/AskAsheville, but we also have another account that is a little more co-op... called www.Twitter.com/AshevilleNews.

This latter one (AshevilleNews) is a feed that actually pulls data from about 15 awesome Asheville blogs (including AshVegas, BlogAsheville, Carolina Mornings, The Chamber, AskAsheville, etc), 10 Asheville Twitter accounts (including AshevilleLive, AshevilleBuildr, FoodTopia, AshevillesHot, AskAsheville, PaleoSun, MountainXpress and more)... and more to be added as they become relevant. Everything posted to any of these sites get Twittered or Tweeted on this feed. Of course we did not add your blog if you have not written in several weeks or did not overapply to Asheville (for this AshevilleNews twitter feed at least).

Maybe I was reading of how EdgyMama finally got addicted to YouTube and I thought about how sometimes we hesitate in making a good move that may help our business life or contribute to our personal life in one way or another. I kind of used "Edgy" cause she herself is in several YouTube videos, but never got into WATCHING them. (Note To All: if you take the time to watch a video on YouTube or AOL, take a fraction of a second to hit the rating stars right below the video, thanks!)

I thought about Twitter... and all of the great Asheville names still available... and wonder when are these people going to "see the light" and grab these great urls? Some URL's that are available right this moment at Twitter for free are AshevilleHair - which would be awesome for a hair salon in Asheville, AshevilleFood - for a restaurant or person that does restaurant reviews (business idea people!), and even AshevilleCity is still available! Man, some of us are slow. You can Twitter through your phone via text (if you do not have internet) or via the web on your phone (if you do)... on your computer of course. Asheville, go to http://www.twitter.com/ now... and get set up in less than 60 seconds. Grab your name or that wise business tag and start Twittering and Tweeting already. We wanna know... WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
