Thanks for that. I’ve not used a hashtag just yet. I don’t see any advantage to the hashtag over a basic email or dot com. Eventually, I suppose I will, right now, I don’t use or connect to them.
On twitter, you make a post and no one sees it. You add a hashtag, and anyone can find that post by searching for it. You type in “I love unicorns! #myNYPD” and it’ll be included when someone searches for that trending twitter thread.
The problem is that no one owns that hashtag. The NYPD started it, but anyone can post anything under it and they have no control. Which is how you get pics of police abuse along sides of cops giving teddy bears to kids. It’s all a question of volume.
The point of a hashtag is anyone can chime in on a topic.
The great thing about hashtags is anyone can chime in on a topic.
