@utahdiabetes: which #hashtag do you prefer? #gov2.0 or #gov20 ? hashtags don’t really like the period but gov”twenty” looks odd

@slvhealthdept: @utahdiabetes Hmm, both are used but b/c hashtag doesn’t respond very well to the period I think I will stick with #gov20 and #web20.

@dsutch: @utahdiabetes How about #govtwodotoh? 😉 #hashtag #gov2 #gov20
