Hash Tag Facebook | New 2019

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

Now, when you will click on a hashtag in Facebook, users will be able to see all public web content pertaining to that keyword phrase. Obviously you will certainly have the ability to join the discussion through a public message, quoting this hashtag.

Concretely, what does this modification enable?

- Search for a details conversation (vs. simple search term), adhere to a media event, a program, a character, ... much like on Twitter.

- Being able to see messages originating from other applications, that have actually been shared on Facebook (eg Instagram) - many individuals are 'cross-posting' on several networks, consisting of Facebook - it will certainly be easier to discover them

- Being able to click hashtags in comments or articles directly from the page hashtags, or status updates from close friends or pages.

" Hashtags are just the first step to help individuals to easily find out what others are saying regarding a provided topic and to participate to public conversations," says Greg Lindley from Facebook.

For Facebook, it is a simple means to create more involvement as well as even more money making chances (funded hashtags, fads, articles, use of Facebook as a second display, etc.).

What's the factor?

Thanks to this new function, the condition updates about general topics or focusing on 'areas of passion' not necessarily assembled in a group, as well as the most fascinating and outstanding articles, will end up being viral without the assistance of buddies. Not just your buddies will see your articles as well as Facebook conditions, but potentially 10s of countless people.

Undoubtedly, just a few individuals take notice of 'public statuses' you composed on Facebook (yes, they were already offered in Facebook but you needed to utilize the search bar, after that filter by 'Public standings'). Thanks to hashtags, the visibility of these blog posts will undoubtedly raise significantly, as they can determine distinctive discussions in the middle of the 'buzz' of all messages.

Will media take it?

Certainly. Media (particularly broadcasters) have embraced Twitter for its conversational power. Facebook will make it possible for to get to an even wider target market. Media will certainly require to aggregate as well as pick the most appropriate content and also republish some on all screens to show the neighborhood she's valued. That challenge will be significantly difficult.

As well as what about brand names?

Undoubtedly great news. The arrival of hashtags could suggest a rebirth of the 'Social' part of social networks. The unique stamina of Twitter is to produce conversations at range, swiftly, and also appropriate to media or brands, with virality. On the other hand, Facebook advertising is often summed up to a race to 'followers' and also 'like', hard-pushed with sponsored articles, Facebook advertisements & ridiculous competitions (ie companies concentrating just on the 'media' part of Facebook).

Yet, I have actually always maintained that the worth of social is to create, enhance as well as intensify the 'social currency' that brand name's ambassadors agree to develop via an appropriate discussion. Offered the larger dimension of Facebook, it is evident that including the conversational measurement through the hashtag is a major property for 'conversational campaigns', significant for the brand. Brand names have after that to amplify this content to the 'easy majority', money grubbing of this social material.

UNITED STATE brands comprehended it, as revealed by an Altimeter's evaluation during the last 'Superbowl' in February, brand names have actually clearly favoured hashtags and also location URLs at the expense of Facebook.

Ever since, Facebook has actually reacted (better late than never). As much as media, brands and customers to react too.
