A week ago I would have told you that was it. But then we learned that choosing a distinct hashtag is important. Here's a direct quote from one of the minds behind the Portland (#inpdx) project (http://GoSeeTell.com/blog): "Learning: If we had to do it again we would probably choose an even more distinct hashtag, preferably one that will not be placed in tweets by people who do not know about the concept and use hashtags liberally, e.g. “Today the sun was shining #inpdx”." We thought that through and agreed - ExpCols seemed like the best fit because it's not easily mistaken for anything other than experiencing Columbus. Does that make sense?

You can say it. How does #expcols *sound* phonetically? It's got to be easily spreadable for it work. Part of me really likes how #incbus is an actual phrase. You can say it.

It’s got to be easily spreadable for it work.
