Version .1 9/3/2010
This page is an effort to find, list and/or create a generally acceptable Twitter hashtag for every law school in the country. Shorter is better. Disambiguation is a big problem here. I am not particularly happy with some of these tags. I have seen or used a small number of these tags and made the rest up. Some observations from this...
- If you are the only law school in a state, you get #<state>law as your hash tag unless there is a shorter abbreviation for your university.
- It seems to make sense to add "law" to every law school hashtag in order to distinguish them from their parent university.
- A seemingly simple project like this immediately opens the Pandora's Box of taxonomy, variable naming conventions, tag disambiguation, etc.
- I am less sure that a list of hashtags like this is valuable than when I started. It seemed like a good idea, but seriously, will even I bother to look these up when I want to refer to a law school or will I just make it up as I go along?
- Despite my doubts, it was useful to finish the project just to gain these insights.
This is a first cut, so if you have suggestions or ideas, put them into the comments or send me a note at jmayer@cali.org or @johnpmayer on Twitter.
