Hashtag On Facebook | New 2019

Facebook introduced the arrival of hashtags. This is a considerable action in the direction of business in real time.

Now, when you will click a hashtag in Facebook, customers will certainly have the ability to see all public web content related to that key words. Naturally you will certainly be able to join the discussion by means of a public article, quoting this hashtag.

Concretely, what does this modification allow?

- Search for a certain conversation (vs. simple search term), follow a media event, a program, a character, ... just like on Twitter.

- Being able to see posts coming from various other applications, that have been shared on Facebook (eg Instagram) - lots of people are 'cross-posting' on several networks, consisting of Facebook - it will certainly be less complicated to find them

- Being able to click on hashtags in comments or blog posts directly from the web page hashtags, or status updates from friends or pages.

" Hashtags are only the initial step to help individuals to easily find out what others are stating about an offered topic as well as to participate to public discussions," says Greg Lindley from Facebook.

For Facebook, it is a straightforward method to create even more engagement and even more monetization possibilities (funded hashtags, trends, posts, use Facebook as a 2nd screen, and so on.).

What's the point?

Thanks to this brand-new feature, the status updates about general subjects or focusing on 'neighborhoods of rate of interest' not necessarily put together in a group, and one of the most fascinating and exceptional articles, will certainly come to be viral without the aid of buddies. Not only your pals will certainly see your articles and Facebook standings, but potentially 10s of hundreds of people.

Indeed, just a couple of individuals take notice of 'public standings' you composed on Facebook (yes, they were currently readily available in Facebook but you had to use the search bar, then filter by 'Public statuses'). Thanks to hashtags, the presence of these articles will certainly boost substantially, as they can recognize unique conversations in the middle of the 'buzz' of all messages.

Will media seize it?

Certainly. Media (specifically broadcasters) have actually adopted Twitter for its conversational power. Facebook will certainly allow to get to an even larger target market. Media will require to accumulation and pick one of the most appropriate content and republish some on all screens to reveal the community she's valued. That challenge will certainly be progressively daunting.

And what concerning brands?

Undoubtedly good news. The arrival of hashtags can indicate a resurgence of the 'Social' part of social media sites. The distinct strength of Twitter is to create conversations at range, rapidly, and relevant to media or brands, with virality. On the other hand, Facebook advertising and marketing is frequently summarized to a race to 'followers' and also 'like', hard-pushed through funded articles, Facebook ads & silly competitions (ie agencies concentrating only on the 'media' part of Facebook).

Yet, I have always kept that the value of social is to develop, enhance as well as magnify the 'social money' that brand name's ambassadors agree to develop through a relevant conversation. Given the larger size of Facebook, it is evident that adding the conversational dimension using the hashtag is a major asset for 'conversational projects', significant for the brand name. Brands have then to intensify this web content to the 'easy majority', money grubbing of this social content.

U.S. brand names understood it, as shown by an Altimeter's analysis during the last 'Superbowl' in February, brands have plainly favoured hashtags and destination URLs at the expense of Facebook.

Since then, Facebook has actually reacted (much better late than never). Up to media, brand names and consumers to react too.
