#ldconf – the Liberal Democrat conference Twitter hashtag

The standard hashtag to use when tweeting about Liberal Democrat federal conferences is #ldconf.

And if you’re wondering what a hashtag is… it’s just a bit of text that everyone talking about a particular event uses. If we all use the same tag, it means you can easily search and find what other people are saying about the event, even if you are not following them (and even without first having to know who they are).  In other words, it’s a bit like the difference between watching a sports event with or without the colour and noise of the crowd.

For example, this link gives you all the latest tweets using #ldconf.

The official party Twitter feed for conference is @libdemconf. Keep an eye on it for news such as the outcome of conference votes.
