FCC's #AskJulius Chat Turns Into No Chat

Pro tip: Use the hashtag

The Federal Communications Commission chairman's first foray into social media bombed today as Julius Genachowski—set to take questions via a Twitter chat at 1:30 p.m. for a half hour—failed to show for the first 20 minutes.

Apparently, Genachowski wasn't tagging his answers with the #askjulius hashtag that participants were using to send him questions.

As a result, the discussion, at least for those following the #askjulius hashtag, devolved into a lot of snark.

As one tweeter noted, it was a rookie mistake.
