HashTags

#AdultEd # EdTech

42

Hashtags vs Mentions

Hashtags have # in front of them (no spaces allowed)

Hashtags are like signposts to content

Mentions start with @ followed by a person or organization’s twitter name (no spaces allowed)

Mentions help connect people who tweet (tweeple?)

Mentions are like sign posts to other people who tweet

43

Hashtags are Ephemeral

Hashtags lose their value if they are not used often.

If using a hashtag for a short term event it’s a good idea to archive the content so it can be found later
