Introducing #wdx | Web Directions
Introducing #wdx

There have been words out and about regarding the name of our London event for this year, Web Directions @media. To explain a little where that name has come from, the conference this time around is a hybrid as we take over the reins of the highly regarded London event, @media, as run by Vivabit since 2005. So we decided on “Web Directions @media” as the name of the event.
Things have been a bit tricky, for obvious reasons, when it comes to what hashtag people should be using for the event, in particular when it is referred to on Twitter. After considerable thought we have decided that now might be the time to pull all Web Directions events under the same hashtag, so let me introduce to you #wdx.
Our thinking on this is that the usefulness of hashtags is very time specific, so it doesn’t matter that Web Directions @media 2010 will have the same hashtag as Web Directions South 2010, for example. When we are one day holding simultaneous events, we will solve that problem :). The important thing was to come up with something short and memorable, and unlikely to be used too frequently for something other than a Web Directions event.
It will really help us if you could start using #wdx any time you refer to a Web Directions event, and in particular it will help make things like Tweeps and Web Directions NOW very super cool indeed.
#wdx, your time starts now :)
