It’s been too long since I’ve done a digital shot. Remember my purpose for this is just a quick thought on trending digital marketing and social trends. With all the lengthy publications out there it can get really overwhelming and quite frankly too time consuming. So when you just want the baby and not the delivery, take a digital shot from yours truly!

As you may recall from previous posts of mine such as, “my wish list for 2013” the use of hashtags is as bad of a pet peeve as bad drivers is to me. But now with all the buzz of Facebook considering using hashtags this could really help business small businesses to find the right people for marketing purposes.  All I can say is it’s about time because as you may have noticed every other major network has adopted the hash such as, Google+, Flickr, Pinterest, and of course Twitter.  Hashtags make information easier to find, especially if you give a unique hashtag to an event or topic of news that is currently hot. Socialites tag their content with a hashtag phrase identifier  and others can find it by searching such phrases.

Businesses could really leverage the use of hashtags on Facebook because of course tons of conversations are held  everyday, but if hashtags go live it would give the ability to search for relevant conversations around topics. This also would make it easier to monitor trending topics that are relevant to your business as well. If/ when Facebook does implement hashtags I would really like to see how it will advance targeting with Facebook ads. Remember hashtags aren’t implemented yet, but it never hurts to be prepared.
