<p>I still can't imagine a good question or a good answer that can be encapsolated in 140 characters.</p><p>twitter != irc</p>

<p>That's quite a long hashtag given the character limit. #EQ2Chat or #EQ2TC or something might be better.</p><p>Why can't people submit questions here?</p>

The new hashtags are:</p><p>For EverQuest = <strong>#EQDev</strong></p><p>For EverQuest II = <strong>#EQ2Dev</strong></p>

<p>On the subject of this ...</p><p>I did enjoy the Dev chats through IRC.  Using Twitter and FB (two media options many people more than likely avoid like the plague for whatever reason) is not going to get the attention the route of taking questions on forums or in an IRC chat would.</p><p>Most of what needs to or would like to be answered are already found all over these boards.  Perhaps have some Mods or red names look through and pick out some questions.  Because I will bet 100plat most questions put on Twitter will be about Pro7.</p>
