hashtag

Neil Gaiman flooded my twitter feed with a bunch of retweets of answers to his questions through a year (it was some sort of collaboration with Blackberry – they probably gave him a phone – using the hashtag #keepmoving). It was fascinating reading what others wrote in their 140 characters. so, I thought I’d give it a try. Limiting this to 140 characters for each answer, hopefully.
