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
