Friday, May 1st - #LocalDay

On Friday, May 1st, the people who run e-democracy.org are trying to use Twitter to help connect locals everywhere around the world join others and tweet your Postal/Zip Code! They've called it call it #LocalDay.

Their instructions are provided below:

• Simply, put #YOURPOSTALCODE (no spaces) in a Twitter post on Friday, May 1 to say hello
• Delete spaces, dashes, etc. if your country's postal code has them. If you don't have a postal code, just use the name of your local area with your country the beginning (e.g. #CountryPlace).
• For example, #55406 is where I live.
• Then by searching #55406 at http://search.twitter.com I can watch others say hello. Search for #YOURPOSTALCODE instead.
• This is similar to the #Flood09 "hashtag" without the national emergency.
• Also add #LOCALDAY to at least your first post to build momentum.
