   Ah, the joy of hashtags!

   #MasterDataManagement definitely looks too long to me. Is #MasterData enough?

   #MDMGMT is ok but I can’t get the summer version out of my head now! #MDMBST

   @_cantabile_‘s suggestion is quite catchy too… #madama

   Or why not stick with #MDM? Is the Million Dollar Memo campaign going to last that long?

   Thanks James and Phillippe.

   Maybe #MDMUTC could be a compromise 🙂

   Also the coming Wednesday the #DataKnightsJam tweet jam is suggested to be about Master Data Management with the #MDM hashtag.

   And actually last Wednesday there was a North American daylight savings and UTC conversion time scam with that jam.

   Henrik,

   This could have the makings of a good on-line Scrabble game, but where you have to use three specific letters in any word – D, M & M.

   We could always flood Twitter with enough true MDM messages to make the Aussies shut up….

   Hi Henrik

   How about #MDATM #MDATA

   For really fanatical Master Data Management practitioners (that probably means all of them) we could use #42 which, in The Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, is the answer to “Life, the Universe and everything”

   Regards
   John

   John, what is the question ? LOL #42 is in !!! just kidding.

   Henrik, #MDM hmmmm… so how do other TLA’s (Three Letter Acronyms) handle it ? Do we just go with it ? What about those who enter the market for the first time, how would they find us ?

   Well, I like John Dunedin’s suggestion. #42, but if you go with #MData, or others suggested, I am sure it will be ok.. but #masterdatamanagement is way to long… just like #datagovernance (try typing that 10 times a day ) 🙂

   I look forward to the tweet jam on this. wondering what will be come of our beloved #mdm hash

   could we go with #therealMDM ? LOL

   thanks for posting…. TTFN (ta ta for now) 🙂

   I’m sticking with #MDM and betting that the Million Dollar Memo thing is a flash in the pan, here today gone tomorrow!

   Thanks Julian, John, Garnie and Dan.

   I’ll also expect that the Master Data Management Summit Europe 2011 this week is going to produce a lot of Master Data Management #MDM tagged tweets.
