The Hashtag Craze!

Did you ever ask yourself why were hashtags created? Well it was mainly created for twitter and what's amazing with hastags on twitter is that when you click on a particular hashtag, it gives you all the tweets that have been posted with this particular hashtag. But now we have a 'new' craze on Facebook.

#Hashtags #Facebook

When this craze started on facebook, I thought it was only for the trend. But then I had the chance to talk about it with a PR professional and he often uses hashtags for the fb pages of his clients. He says thanks to hashtags he no more needs to write long sentences and it comes in handy when he has to post quickly and via his cellphone. 

Some facebook users post things and as description, all you can read is a set of hashtags! I wonder if these people are aware of how annoying this is! Yes people, it is annoying to see a nice picture of you at the beach but then all I can read, if I can call that 'reading', as description is "#Beach #Sea #Sun #Sand #Hot #SexyLegs #IDon'tKnowWhatMore"... Why!? Is that a new trend on facebook? Just so you can say you've used hashtags? 

Good news: Now hashtags on facebook work the same way as on twitter. 

So people when you are using hashtags make sure that they are common hashtags used by many.
