What is a #hashtag?
A user-created standard for identifying tweets belonging to a topic. Include the tag in your tweet and other people searching for the same tag will be able to find it. Register a hashtag on Twubs at http://twubs.com/registerhashtag. From twubs.com.
The # symbol, called a hashtag, is used to mark keyword or topic in a tweet. Any Twitter user can categorize or follow topics with hashtags. From hashtag.org.
Twilert can give Twitter alerts of keywords, brand names used in tweets. http://www.twilert.com/
Give your hashtag context
Most people won’t actually know what your hashtag means, so give a quick explanation in one of your tweets or, if you’re making a hashtag, make it very apparent what it’s talking about.
If you want to create a hashtag, be sure that it adds value.
Conferences and events rely on the hashtag system more than almost any other entity. It’s become standard to track the conversation about speakers and afterparties via a hashtag.
Event hashtags
If you’re about to put on an event or are looking to take your event to a new level, here are some useful tips for hashtag organization:
- Choose a single hashtag early. This may seem simple, but it is vital to get right. Choose a simple hashtag that represents your event or brand.
- Remind attendees of the hashtag constantly: On your website, on your Twitter feed, at the opening remarks, and throughout the day, make a friendly reminder about your hashtag and that you can track the conversation through it.
