Fresno Drupal Con Attendees

Posted by kepford on April 15, 2010 at 6:01pm

I know a number of the Fresno Drupalers are planning to attend Drupal Con next week. We would like to meetup and hang out. It occurred to me that we could use a Twitter HashTag like #fdug (Fresno Drupal Users Group). So, who is going to SF?

FYI - check with your hotel if you need to store/park your garage. Some just quote the room rental... and then hit you with a parking surcharge from anywhere from $12 to $30. Some offer in and out privileges and some don't. You might want to check.

I'm heading up Saturday and staying at Parc 55. We should establish a way to communicate while we are there. Using #fdug on Twitter sounds like a good idea for announcing impromptu meetups. Is that mobile enough for everyone?

is there a way, in any of the iphone twitter apps, to watch for certain hashes?

I use TweetDeck on the iPhone

I use TweetDeck on the iPhone and you just add a search term as a column. E.g., I just added #drupalcon and #fdug as columns to keep up with tweets with those hash tags.

Awesome!

You can save searches in Tweetie but it will be free soon. I am unaware of an app that sends alerts on a search.
