As some of you may know, we’ve been encouraging the use of the #altos Twitter hash symbol for customers to use in their tweets. If that hash is followed by a city or zip code, the tweet text will be displayed on one of our market research pages. While monitoring the use of the hash, I had begun to notice quite a few Spanish tweets that use it too, but are definitely not related to Altos Research. Well, it turns out Altos Mirandinos is an official region in Venezuela. Whew – mystery solved.
The other, other #altos

Very cool Twitter hack!
A good trick to remember! Thanks.
Thanks – the general format to use looks like this to tag your Tweet to a ZIP code:
#altos 94086
Or you can use a city name:
#altos san francisco
For city names that appear in multiple states (‘Springfield’ is popular) you can use:
#altos springfield, il
Enjoy,
jason
