FollowFriday FF and Other Twitter Hashtags
1. When you’ve been on Twitter long enough, you’ll see tweets from people with hashtags (#) preceding them. The hashtag may be followed by strange abbreviations, severalwordsthatruntogether (say what?) or single topics. Hashtags help to spread and organize information on Twitter.Tip
Using hashtags makes subjects easier to search for and find. Conferences, major events and even disasters (such as #swineflu) use hashtags to put specific tweets in order and make it easier for you, and your followers, to follow. 2. Here’s a list of some Twitter hash tags and what they refer to. After you look at the list, you’ll get the drift. You can find more, along with their activity and the top members at a user-editable encyclopedia for hashtags found on Twitter. After that, I give you some conventions to follow when creating your own hashtags. #sxsw A popular conference, South By Southwest, is too long to tweet since tweets are limited to 140 characters. People at the conference include #sxsw in their tweets to show where they are and what they’re doing there. #CES Consumer Electronics Show. Again, too long to tweet. Let your friends know you’re talking about it by using #CES #musicmonday On Mondays, Twitter users like to tweet their favorite songs. It’s like sitting around a record player (remember?) with your friends. Tweets have a link to a playable version of the song. #FF or #FollowFriday Do you have someone you really like to follow? Someone who often puts up interesting tweets? Recommend that person to your followers by tweeting his or her ID, followed by the hash tag.Tip
Remember: Only do this on Fridays. Consider the people in your Twitter stream who may not approve of your own private daily version of #FollowFriday.
