Facebook introduces Hashtags as predicted

Remember all those Facebook posts that had hashtags splattered all across them, and they did nothing?  Annoying wasn’t it.  Either people didn’t know that Facebook wasn’t Twitter, or they crossposted using a third party tool.

As predicted though, Facebook has now introduced hashtags such as #queenstownnz or #ladygaga in their posts, and they can be clicked to find all related posts, with the same hashtags.

What does this mean?  Well it widens the scope for Twitter style conversation as things like events, and it also exposes your posts to be seen by people clicking on hashtags.

Maybe it’s time to review all those old posts you made with hashtags, and check your privacy settings.

We’ll do a small video on this soon.
