In memory of PhilHughes https://twitter.com/hashtag/putoutyourbats?src=hash&mode=pho tos âThis is our way to connect and show our sadness.â Twitter marketing platform Socialbro monitored the hashtag. They said it took about 12 hours to lift off, but when it did, around 4600 people were joining in each hour. The tag peaked at 9pm last night with 10,400 tweeting #putoutyourbats in one hour â nearly three every second. In the 24 hours to 5am today, 112,000 people had tweeted #putoutyourbats, the vast majority of them accompanying pictures of their cherished willow propped up outside the front door or in the back yard.
