Frases que nos hagan pensar, momentos emotivos, ideas interesantes, y mucho más.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Para ello, utilizaremos un hashtag especial.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;¿Un qué?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Hashtag es el nombre que reciben unas palabras claves que en Twitter son precedidas por el símbolo de numeral ("#") y que sirven para que puedas hacer una búsqueda rápida sobre dicha palabra y veas reunidas todas las menciones que se hagan de determinado tema - en nuestro caso la convención - en un sólo lugar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Por tanto, el hashtag que usaremos durante el evento será &lt;b&gt;#ujcl2012&lt;/b&gt;, y aquí en el blog podrás ver en la columna derecha de la página un espacio en donde podrás encontrar todos los tuits que hagan mención de dicha palabra clave.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Ahora bien, lo que dará verdadero sentido al uso de Twitter será la cantidad de participantes en la convención que utilicen la red social y enriquezcan con el hashtag la conversación. Por tanto, necesitamos de vuestra ayuda para que nuestro evento llegue a la mayor cantidad de gente posible, logrando de esta manera &lt;i&gt;leafitz Tora beRabim&lt;/i&gt;, multiplicar la Tora entre todos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;¿Nos ayudan? ¡Gracias!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;PD: algunos de los asistentes a la convención que ya usan twitter son: @gustikra, @ferlapi, @guicohen, @urielromano, @mmoel, @jamuda, @elsabiosalmon, @danielmoel, @emoel68, @ricardoelias1, @ernstmott, @rabbiruth, @jupamejia y @kullock&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;(¡Si nos olvidamos de alguno sólo avísennos!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.internetizado.com/img/2011/01/twitter-follow-me-post.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="237" src="http://www.internetizado.com/img/2011/01/twitter-follow-me-post.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;----&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Do you tweet?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Even if you don't use Twitter, it's more than probable that you've heard about this outstanding social network that is growing a bit more every day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;It's pretty easy: in 140 characters (not words!) you have to share what you are doing, thinking or just found around and want to share with your followers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;We, at the UJCL, want to be part of this new microblogging world, so in our upcoming &lt;b&gt;XIIIth Convention&lt;/b&gt;, we will be tweeting live on what is going on during the event. Food for thought, beautiful moments, interesting ideas and much more. And for that, we will have a special hashtag.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;A what?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Hashtag is the name we give in Twitter to some key words that are preceded by a #. These words help us find tweets focused in a specific subject or event, such us our convention.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Consequently, during the convention we will use the following hashtag: &lt;b&gt;#ujcl2012&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;and here in the blog you'll be able to find all those tweets containing that key word.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Now, the interesting thing about Twitter is that the beauty and richness of it depends on how much the people use it. If we manage to have multiple tweets with the same hashtag, we'll be able to reach a lot of people and to share with them what we are trying to do in this region of the world. If you help us, together we can show to the world that we can strive and enjoy what we do in Central America.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Would you help us? Thanks!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;PS:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;some of the attendees to the convention already using Twitter are: @gustikra, @ferlapi, @guicohen, @urielromano, @mmoel, @jamuda, @elsabiosalmon, @danielmoel, @emoel68, @ricardoelias1, @ernstmott, @rabbiruth, @jupamejia and @kullock&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;(¡If you know of somebody else, just let us know!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/584088854656374668-6924682195967919346?l=ujcl2012.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ujcl2012.blogspot.com/feeds/6924682195967919346/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ujcl2012.blogspot.com/2012/01/ujcl2012.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/584088854656374668/posts/default/6924682195967919346'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/584088854656374668/posts/default/6924682195967919346'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ujcl2012.blogspot.com/2012/01/ujcl2012.html' title='#ujcl2012'/><author><name>Joshua Kullock</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05836372203799892122</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-X4O85ltTXZs/TwaBXwKyj7I/AAAAAAAABoM/_1czOcgel2o/s220/JK%2Bfoto%2BSFO.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-584088854656374668.post-1960247675177801342</id><published>2012-01-11T07:36:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2012-01-11T07:36:04.544-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Una visita al Cabañas // Visiting the Cabanas</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;[Scroll down for English]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://thehappening.com/images/blogs/interior_grande/blog_images_1290778059-orozco.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://thehappening.com/images/blogs/interior_grande/blog_images_1290778059-orozco.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;La &lt;b&gt;XIII Convención de la UJCL&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;no sólo contará con espacios de estudio y reflexión.
