Twitter and FaceBook #Hashtags, why use them?
Hashtags turn topics and phrases into clickable links in your posts on your personal Timeline or Page. This helps people find posts about topics they’re interested in.
To make a hashtag, write # (the number sign) along with a topic or phrase (written as one word) and add it to your post.
For example:
Wonderful weather today! #MesquiteNV
When you click a hashtag, you’ll see a feed of posts that include that hashtag. You'll also see some related hashtags at the top. You can search for a hashtag using the search bar at the top of any page.
We encourage you to use #MesquiteNV as often as possible so that people looking or wondering about Mesquite will see a lot of information about us when they click on one link.
Try it out for yourself. Look at one of our previous posts where we used #MesquiteNV and click on the #MesquiteNV link it created to see what you see.
