What’s a #jellymoment?
(For those of you not on Twitter, a hashtag symbol, #, before a word shows it’s a topic you can search for on Twitter and add your own comments to. The Twitter website displays the current most popular topics, those that are ‘trending’).
#jellymoment came about when I discovered there were three Jellys taking place on Wednesday 19 May 2010, including the one I organise in Frome, Somerset. Since the point of Jelly is to put small business owners and freelancers in touch with each other, I began to wonder if there was a way to connect the three Jellys in Cardiff, Coalport and Frome.
Once again it was my clever partner Andy who came up with the solution, just as he also thought of the concept of Jellyquette – to have a #jellymoment in the style of #watercoolermoment, the online coffee break for home workers run by Enterprise Nation.
So we decided the #jellymoment would take place between 12 and 1 pm after #watercoolermoment and the three Jelly organisers let everyone know. Nobody could have been more amazed than we were when we realised that #jellymoment was trending 3rd in the UK!
Other people joined in as well as those attending Jelly, including some who obviously had no idea what it was all about, but that’s the great thing about Twitter – you just never know where your information might end up!
If you’re organising Jelly you might like to check the Jelly Wiki to see if any other events are happening elsewhere in the UK, or taking time differences into account, why not go global?
