Bibstuds: A Twitter Hashtag for Biblical Studies

Yesterday I asked whether there were any good Twitter hashtags for biblical studies. The question arose from setting my wife up with some things on Twitter. She is interested in breastfeeding and there are quite a few actively used hashtags on her topics of interest. What about us? Shouldn’t there be an easy way to find people tweeting about biblical scholarship?

The tag #biblicalstudies is too long, of course. In a Facebook interaction of ours, Charles Puskas recommended #bibstuds. That sounds good to me, and kinda fun. So, I’m putting it out there as a suggestion to my fellow tweeters of biblical studies (you heard me, Jim :) ). I have added the tag as a postscript on my twitterfeed.

Find any posts tagged with #bibstuds here. At the moment, it’s just me, but I’ve got it as a saved search and I’ll keep my eye out for your tweets. I look forward to biblioblogging tweeters (I know you feel me, Jim) joining the #bibstuds revolution that will most certainly sweep the globe.

Update: See this post on rethinking the hashtag.
