In our fair city there are a number of people who keep track of what's going on at city council, and some of those folks use Twitter to follow along with that's going on in real time. This is helped by the live simulcast of Ann Arbor City Council meetings on CTN, the city's cable access television feed, as well as online.
There is a lot to follow here, with the ins and outs of multi-year development projects being discussed and proposed and a cast of regular characters giving public commentary. To help follow this, Twitter had adopted the #aacitycouncil hash tag to follow along. Last night, though, AnnArbor.com reporter Ryan Stanton had this great suggestion:
@damnarbor I'm lobbying to change #aacitycouncil to #a2council - you in?
Note that #a2council is shorter, just as informative, and unambiguous - and thus the universal decision that followed to change the use of one tag for another.
