I will confess to being a bit lazy when it comes to twitter, and think it's about time I made more of an effort.
Other forums promote and big up the use of hash tags.
Does anyone else use or have experience of using hash tags, good or bad?
If for example we used the Hash Tag of #MLF (not MILF as someone once commented!) would this just basically become a short version of @MyLocalForums if someone wanted to mention us in a tweet?
Or is the idea just simply to try and get a trending topic?
Be interested to hear any other thoughts or experiences in twitter land.
I dont think 'hashtag' MLF will really help in bringing traffic to this forum as the acronym is not specific enough - could stand for a wide range of things. enterprisepe
also how do people write the hashtag symbol easily - if i want to use it i have to go to insert symbols enterprisepe
“I dont think 'hashtag' MLF will really help in bringing traffic to this forum as the acronym is not specific enough - could stand for a wide range of things.” interesting, so it needs to be more keyword orientated and obvious
I found these two posts from mashable and searchengineland. They more or less cover what it is and how to use them and mashable gives 6 examples of successful twitter hashtags used in twitter. The how to is here: Search engine land and the examples are here: Mashable The post from search engine land is a year old, but its still pretty relevant, and could help. I did read on another forum that these are already being used in "excess" though, but will link that as soon as I find it. I think it can help, especially if you are trying to have a conversation with someone, or when you're talking to your clients and prospective clients about your products etc. so its not a total loss to use them.
