Twitter is a social media platform that allows its users to make small posts or
microblogs (called tweets) that quickly communicate information, tell a story,
report news, or even share a picture or video. If a reader likes what he sees
or thinks it's important, he can “re-tweet” it on his own Twitter feed. Users
can label tweets with key words called hashtags that help others search for
or follow a particular topic.
The Grand Lodge of Ohio has encouraged Lodges and members on Twitter
to use the hashtags, #OHLodgeLife and #ThisisOhioFreemasonry. Some
of the Lodges using Twitter include NeoAcacia 595, East Palestine 417,
Xenia 49, and Hugh L. Bates 686 as well as the Royal Scofield Society and,
of course, the Grand Lodge of Ohio.
A classic Masonic Tweet promising good food and fellowship is pictured
above. Xenia Lodge No 49 is in the 8th District. It carries the distinctive blue
Hashtags #8thDistict and #ThisisOhioFreemasonry.
