Live-tweeting -- the kind of tweeting where you replay to your Twitter followers what people are saying at an event in real time -- is something that seems to be gaining popularity at conferences around the nonprofit circuit. It can be fun to do on your own (like at NTC 2011 ), but it can have real benefits for your organization too.

The hashtag, as defined by Twitter , was created because Twitter provided no easy way to group tweets or add extra data. Since Twitter did not develop this capability into its system, the community came up with their own way: hashtags. They announced it on stage and on twitter and even in the program.
