#ICT4D Twitter Used to be Great
I remember a heyday of Twitter for ICT4D discussions. Around 2009-2010, Twitter was the place to be for great digital development debates. The #ICT4D hashtag was lively with regular conversations between interesting people. We even once proposed proprietary hashtags for an April Fools Day joke.
We had regular Twitter Chats with multiple great outcomes on ICTworks. For example, from the Fail Day Chat came the multi-year Fail Festival initiative. Other chats inspired ICT4D best practices, precursors to the Digital Principles. These conversations introduced me to awesome people that are still friends and peers today. People like Linda Raftree, Tony Roberts, Michael Downey, and many more.
