Facebook Hash Tag | New 2019

Facebook announced the arrival of hashtags. This is a considerable step towards service in real time.

Currently, when you will certainly click on a hashtag in Facebook, users will have the ability to see all public content related to that key words. Certainly you will be able to sign up with the conversation through a public post, estimating this hashtag.

Concretely, what does this modification allow?

- Search for a particular conversation (vs. easy search term), adhere to a media event, a program, a personality, ... just like on Twitter.

- Having the ability to see articles coming from other applications, that have actually been shared on Facebook (eg Instagram) - many people are 'cross-posting' on several networks, including Facebook - it will be easier to locate them

- Having the ability to click hashtags in remarks or articles straight from the page hashtags, or condition updates from friends or web pages.

" Hashtags are only the very first step to help individuals to quickly find out what others are stating regarding an offered topic and also to take part to public conversations," states Greg Lindley from Facebook.

For Facebook, it is a straightforward method to develop more engagement and more money making opportunities (funded hashtags, patterns, articles, use of Facebook as a second screen, and so on.).

What's the point?

Thanks to this brand-new function, the standing updates concerning general subjects or revolving around 'neighborhoods of interest' not always assembled in a group, and also one of the most fascinating and superior blog posts, will come to be viral without the aid of pals. Not just your friends will see your messages and also Facebook conditions, but potentially tens of hundreds of individuals.

Undoubtedly, just a couple of persons take note of 'public standings' you wrote on Facebook (yes, they were currently offered in Facebook yet you needed to utilize the search bar, then filter by 'Public standings'). Thanks to hashtags, the exposure of these articles will definitely increase substantially, as they can determine distinct discussions in the middle of the 'buzz' of all posts.

Will media confiscate it?

Naturally. Media (especially broadcasters) have adopted Twitter for its conversational power. Facebook will allow to get to an even wider target market. Media will require to accumulation and select one of the most appropriate content and also republish some on all displays to show the community she's valued. That obstacle will certainly be increasingly daunting.

And what concerning brands?

Undoubtedly good news. The arrival of hashtags might indicate a resurgence of the 'Social' part of social media sites. The distinct stamina of Twitter is to generate discussions at range, quickly, and relevant to media or brand names, with virality. On the other hand, Facebook advertising and marketing is often summarized to a race to 'fans' as well as 'like', hard-pushed with sponsored posts, Facebook advertisements & ridiculous competitions (ie firms focusing just on the 'media' part of Facebook).

Yet, I have always maintained that the worth of social is to produce, reinforce as well as amplify the 'social currency' that brand's ambassadors are willing to create with a pertinent conversation. Provided the bigger dimension of Facebook, it is evident that adding the conversational dimension via the hashtag is a major possession for 'conversational projects', significant for the brand name. Brand names have then to magnify this material to the 'passive bulk', money grubbing of this social material.

U.S. brand names understood it, as revealed by an Altimeter's analysis during the last 'Superbowl' in February, brands have clearly favoured hashtags and location Links at the expenditure of Facebook.

Since then, Facebook has actually reacted (much better late than never). As much as media, brands and also consumers to respond as well.
