Keep #080808-ing 继续#080808
More than 5,000 tweets tagged with #080808!
It's the record we've made on 08/08/08, the opening day of Beijing Olympic Games.
In approximately 24 hours, the simple idea of "putting an anchor in the world's timeline" evolved to the most popular topic in the Twitter world, received strong support from the blogosphere, and finally, hit the Technology page of New York Times.
No time difference at all. Tweeters from Beijing, Shanghai, Taipei, New York, San Francisco, Tokyo, Bangkok, and even some cities we've never heard were sharing their thoughts about the opening ceremony at the same time, on the same platform, with the same tag.
Every 5 seconds, there were more than 20 tweets with "#080808" tag popping up on the result page of Twitter Search. For most of us, it's more exciting than the 29 fireworks forming giant footprints in Beijing's sky.
Now, a quick question: what's next? #080908, #081008, ... until #082308? Oh, no, don't be so silly.
Seriously, why not keep tagging all our tweets about Beijing Olympic Games with #080808?
For sure, we know some of us have been used to pressing the keys of 0 and 8 with the middle finger and index finger of your right hand continuously for three times. Respect users' experience - it's what we've learned in the Internet industry.
It's not time to say good-bye. Keep tuned.
超过 5,000 条带有 #080808 标签的消息！
这是我们在08年08月08日创下的记录。这一天，是北京奥运会开幕日。
在大约24小时里，“标记时间点，改变全世界”这个简单的创意演变成了 Twitter 世界里最热门的话题，得到了来自 Blog 世界的鼎立支持，并最终登上了《纽约时报》的科技版。
完全无时差。来自北京、上海、台北、纽约、旧金山、东京、曼谷以及一些我们从来没有听说过名字的城市的 Twitter 用户们在同样的时间、同样的平台、用同样的标签分享关于开幕式的看法。
每隔5秒钟，就有超过20条带着“#080808”标签的消息出现在 Twitter Search 结果页上。对我们大多数人来说，这比北京上空29个由焰火构成的巨人脚印更令人兴奋。
现在，一个简单的问题：接下来呢？#080908、#081008……直到#082308？还是不要了，别这么愣好不好啊。
老实说，为什么不把我们所有的奥运会消息都给标记上 #080808 呢？
当然，我们知道不少人已经习惯于用右手中指和食指在0和8两个键上连续敲击三下。尊重用户习惯——是我们在互联网行业里学到的。
还没有到说再见的时间。请您不要走开。
