    ohpineapples well. Depends the hashtags will automatically take people to the place where that hashtags has been used before. So the more people that use that direct hashtags then the more content that it will lead too. On things like twitter will also search words in tweets/profiles.

    To me, you make it sound like a # creates an instant link. Dont you have to connect a link with an URL first? Also, what happens if you create a # phrase that is already created and the interests differ, like some synonym?

  • @BarrysentialsWinebloggers

    @BarrysentialsWinebloggers

    The #word will automatically create a hyperlink and take you to a search result for that specific # + word. - But no, not a link to any other URL. . If you want to create a link to something else you still have to insert the URL. What happens if you create a #phrase that is already created and the interests differ - well, you're search results will have both interests in them. So if you want to create a #phrase - do a twitter search first and see what the current conversation is about that #phrase. Then decide if you want to join it - or choose a different hashtag.

    Yes! You did it! Just type the # sign and any string of letters and in most social platforms it will be a clickable link. The link goes to a list of all posts on that platform that also use the same hashtag. Yes, anyone else can use the same one, so always search for your hashtag first before using it so you know what other posts might appear near yours.

    A hashtag is essentially just a meta tag however their use will diminish in time as AI searches become the norm and data agregation becomes essential - in 2014 KZread had 17,000 hours of content uploaded every hour, how do you manage that? So correct language will prevail as it is the only ready built communuication system plus the society we live in is a knowledgist one, to coin a phrase, those who know and think get the best out of it.

    People are very critical and even get angry (frustrated) over new things like hashtag. I think its important to realize that it is natural to resist change. I didnt know what hashtag was and so i resented it. But if it was completely pointless then it wouldnt be so popular. Im not saying that popular things are good. But everything is serving some purpose-whether it be good or bad or stupid. But just because you dont understand something, or it isnt useful to you, doesnt mean others arent enjoying it. My dad hated social media and would never get on facebook. Now hes been on for a few years and he is mad that im no longer on. You get less angry with something when you get to know it. Like how we judge others.
