We’re sure you’ve noticed that hashtags are everywhere these days!
They are on most Social Media platforms, including Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, etc.
In coordination with the launch of our own @FiveOaksCentre social media accounts, we are also happy to announce that we are also launching our brand hashtag:
What is a Hashtag?
Hashtags have been popular for a little while now, but for our followers who are unfamiliar with what they are, we’d love to share a brief description of what they’re about!
Hashtags are the “#” symbol (also known as pound or number sign), followed by a word or short phrase with no spaces between the words. They are used by both companies and individuals to share social media content. When including a hashtag in your post, it allows other users with similar interests (like Five Oaks!) to easily find your post. If you’ve heard of something “trending” online, it simply means it is a hashtag that has been used a lot and is becoming a very popular topic.
If you want to get technical, check out the full Wikipedia description.
