What is a hashtag?
#UNHCS13
Nope….
Hashtag: A word or phrase prefixed with # in a message on a social networking channel. “ #UNHCS13 is amazing. It’s my favorite day of the year.”
Hashtags provide a means of grouping certain messages. Searching for a specific hashtag, (like #UNH) would create a set of all messages that contain said hashtag.
Twitter, Instagram, Google+, Flickr, and Facebook all support hashtags.

Using Hashtags
Adding tags to your photos is a great way to find new followers, share photos, & amplify your message.
Choose specific hashtags that will help connect with others on Instagram. In this example, instead of using the hashtag #UNH, we used #UNH17. The tagged photos are added to the targeted search page, where other UNH Class of 2017 students are able to view photos easily.
Remember! Use relevant tags to help attract new followers.

Hashtags turn topics and phrases into clickable links in posts on your personal timeline or company page.
This helps people find posts about topics they’re interested in.
*Note that you'll only see posts that were shared with you… (or made public)
