So, I’m on a campaign to bring forward some hashtags that
you may or not recognize. With most
social media platforms recognizing them in search results, it behooves us to
become familiar so that we are up with the times.
#imwithher – This one speaks for itself, especially if you’re
not living in a cave with your fingers over your eyes and your thumbs in your
ears (a bit more creative than #berniesanders…granted, I do like #feelthebern). It was easy to find Hillary supporters on
Twitter by searching for this hashtag…but I prefer to be a bit more circuitous...
#imwithmeghan – Meghan is, as many are, a vocal supporter of
Hillary. And, rather than blindly
support someone I’ve never met, I trust that Meghan is representing the truth
in her posts about the Democratic front-runner.
In fact, I’ve been so obnoxious about it, I think this is the only thing
I’ve posted on Meghan’s facebook page in over a month…over and over again. Sorry Meghan.
Have worse taste and I wouldn’t agree with you as much.
#nottrump or #governot – Speaking of bad taste…these are two
that I believe should be popular. I’m
certain that I’m not the only one using #nottrump. In fact, FaceBook shows that over 92,000
people have used the hashtag in posts.
That’s cool. The other is how I
feel about the governor of NJ. He’s been
mentally out of the state for years. Now
he’s back here, if, for no other reason than it’s his job. He’s vetoing things left and right, most
recently disallowing pay raises for public employees in South NJ…people who
haven’t gotten cost-of-living pay raises for his entire tenure as
governor. Yeah, he shot down 2%. #whattayutz. (also trendy:
#mygovernorcaneatyourgovernor)
#instagood – This one’s specific to Instagram users who are,
presumably posting their absolute best images.
Sometimes, if the photo is really good, it’ll be featured on the Instagram
page of the same name. Problem is,
everyone posting pictures to Instagram thinks their image is good enough to
share, so whether the pictures are merely good or instagood is completely
subjective. Frankly, I would be more
into an honest #instakindofallrightbutnotgreat.
#27nillas – This is how many Nilla wafers (Nabisco) I could
fit in my mouth in the spring of 1994.
It’s been photo documented. I
handily beat Sean Durkin in a competition, and we must extoll our extraordinary
accomplishments. Granted, I’m far more
mature now. I could, with my current life
experience, probably fit more.
#withagecomeswisdomandnillas. Don’t
judge. #imtalentedANDgoodlooking.
#butfirstfolgers – Don’t be a H8R, but some funny
marketing has been going on.
Hashtags.org reports that one of the most popular hashtags on Twitter is
this one…as the @shespeaks marketing company (“We connect influencers with
brands & causes they care about. Join us for giveaways, Twitter parties
& more. Bloggers: work with brands & grow your audience”) is giving
away everything from Amazon gift certificates to Keurig coffee machines, and,
yes, Folger’s coffee pods. And, if we
know anything about the history of Folger’s products, this may be the last
thing you’d want to get for free.
In truth, the best part about hashtags is that they can be
anything that’s appropriate for your particular situation…which would then be
searchable…however, the more creative you get, the less likely anybody but you
will know how to do that. Which is why I
don’t use “#” for much more than #shitsandgiggles.
