Assignment B - #Hashtag Activity due end of day April 14
(Online Presence) Tweet 2 short reflections on what you’ve learned in the first two days of the course. Think specifically about case studies where individuals and organizations employ Twitter, due on or before end of dayApril 15
I notice that using the hashtag #sm that it's mainly used in relation to marketing. There are definitely a few people that I would call influencers based on how often they tweet and how many followers they have. There are a lot of links to articles around social media and marketing. I noticed a lot of links to photos but not any videos.
I wasn't too thrilled about the hashtag #SM for the reasons both of you stated already, Kristen and Jill. The vast majority of tweets that I came across when browsing / searching via the #SM tag had to do with marketers promoting their services. While some of the tips were certainly helpful, I also found them repetitive, which means there wasn't too much "new and enlightening" or original. I guess it's good to have those reminders, though, to ensure we are being "effective" in our #SM communication.
Fortunately, the #SM tag yielded more results about what I was actually searching for and not too many of the "other" kind....That said, they definitely showed up in the search results....
Jill - good point about really thinking #hashtags through to ascertain if there is an actual or potential double-entendre in use of a #hashtag.
It reminds me of a local religious group in our community that used the hashtage #BS for Bible Study. It obviously has another meaning that brought up all kinds of other posts not related to religion.
