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
5050 #COABE13
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 Two tools
