I think this says it all… #Yorkshirehour was the number one trending topic in the UK from 8.30pm onwards and still going strong in the number one spot after 10pm!
We were trending above #Jimmy Carr – (and Jim Carrey too, strangely) by about half past eight tonight and then we trended at number one from just after that – and we’re still the number one trend as I type this at 10.20pm, which is pretty good going seeing as how #Yorkshirehour is only really 8-9pm. We’ve had 4,223 tweets and retweets using our hashtag since we kicked of this evening. It’s not the most tweets we’ve had in a night – but it’s the best we’ve done in terms of trending! Helen and I are amazed by the success of this idea we started pursuing 16 weeks ago. Thank you for joining in. #Yorkshirehour – What’s it all about? For those of you just looking up #Yorkshirehour to see what it is, please see the previous posts on here, especially the first one on this #Yorkshirehour which explains all about this weekly business to business networking event.
Thank you
