Ok I will admit I did feel like I was waiting for a party to happen that no one was going to turn up to but thankfully in the first ever #wighthour I wasn't alone!!
It was slow going at first but I got a fair few tweets for the first night and I hope now that week on week it will grow with more and more island businesses following, rt'ing' and promoting not only their own business but also other local businesses too, with the idea/hope that they and others will do the same back!
These are the businesses that tweeted with us tonight and promoted us in the build up to #wighthour!

Hello #WightHour
There are alot of #....hour tags on twitter now, all set up for various groups or niches of people who try to get together once a week (or more) for a set hour to share similar interests, businesses or local areas.
I live on the Isle of Wight, which aside from the geographical obvious seperation also means you are or at least can feel quite seperate from everywhere else.
Most other places and counties have their own area #hour so I went searching (with thanks to the lovely @emswindsor )to see if there was one based on the Island.. I couldn't find one, so after a few weeks of thinking I thought I'd make one!
So this is basically a shout out to anyone running or starting a small business on the island as a way of promoting ourselves to the rest of twitter by Rt'ing' each other including the #wighthour hashtag during the set hour!
Now as it's only me right now I am going to pick a monday night between 8-9pm (This is subject to change if the need arises).
It doesn't have to be just business tweets either, it can be just general chit chat if you are on or love the Island! :)
If you have any suggestions or comments for or about #WightHour please leave a comment here or tweet me @wighthour
