I use TweetDeck and keep an active search column running for both 'Edmonton' and '#yeg' - our airport code, widely used here for this city. Local news people and the main community here uses #yeg. I occasionally get some off-topic stuff from the Edmonton's that are in the UK and KY, but not often.

Hashtags aren't links. They're more like keywords, so people can search for them. You'd post a link by using a URL shortening service (like bit.ly) to add a short URL.

A great thought, but an awfully long tag when you have a 140 character limit.

I'd like to nominate @fcedmonton, the Full Circles Network - here they tweet out classified ad listings that have free giveaways, so people can pass on the stuff they don't need. Often, people will post an old fridge or dishwasher, and it's picked up within hours by someone that really needs it.
