In previous years 313DLove was an online "trend." At 3:13 p.m. people tweeted a positive message about Detroit with the #313Dlove hashtag. Detroit would often trend locally for a few moments and that was it. Detroit was strong, united, and sharing their passion with the world for 60 seconds. This year it was their goal to have #313Dlove trend globally.
Although I was not able to attend the #313Dlove event that afternoon, I closely followed the live tweets from attendees.
Here are my favorite and most impactful tweets from the day.
We love #Detroit. Our city is filled with amazing designers, creators, makers, and entrepreneurs. #313DLove

#313DLove should last more than one day. It's not about Detroit, it's about value and lessons and people that make Detroit. Utilize daily.

Detroit has always been a place where things are made. And we need to collectively make an effort to return the favor and help re"make" Detroit. It’s not their problem (the city, the government, the citizens); it’s our problem (Michiganders and Detroit lovers). It’s not their project or business or park. It’s ours. This is the perfect time for us to claim back what is ours and make something from nothing. And it’s time we did something well beyond March 13th or a Tweet or a hashtag. --Challenge Accepted--By the way, The #313DLove hashtag completely took over Twitter on Thursday! Congratulations and special thanks to everyone involved!
