Thank you for the simple tips on how to use hashtags! Sometimes we overlook or misuse hashtags because they’re so easy to do… and I agree, too many hashtags appear really spammy.

The different tools to identify trending hashtags are also really helpful- these will really come in handy when revising our Twitter strategy.

I think it’s most important to remain consistent with your hashtags and using them as a promotional tool just like South by Southwest Interactive, Film and Music Festival did. Too many times people create a new hashtag and then it just gets excessive.

What would you suggest if you’re trying to get your Twitter audience to catch on to your hashtag and start using them in their own tweets? It’s one thing for us to be consistently using our own hashtags but I find it hard to get others to catch on to it as well.

Good suggestions, and the tools you mentioned I know, as I am the founder of RiteTag.
I hope you will look at what we do and consider using it as well. In RiteTag, users paste a tweet, get hashtag suggestions in three ways (from “RiteTag AI,” their saved Tag Sets (built from the Reports they order for hashtags on their topics), and from hashtags they used previously which got them retweets, favorites, follower-growth and/or clicks on links in tweets with the tag). They send or schedule the tweet, re-tag and schedule again to test the same tweet another time/day with other tags, and see the results in “Stats.”
Not wanting to link-spam your site, I’ll leave out the URL, but suffice it say that you can find us and sign up to beta-test at the domain with what you’d expect to follow RiteTag.
Let me know if I can help you get results for your agendas with our new baby.

Nice post. I have bookmarked it as I need to brush up on my #hashtag education. Being that Goolge+ incorporates hashtags and Facebook is moving that way we all need to use them appropriately. I like the idea of moving them offline to gain a following!

Hi Jessica,

Great article. Thanks for listing Hashtags.org as a resource. I also wanted to clarify that Hashtags.org offers an analytical service as well at http://analytics.hashtags.org. You can track hashtags, find prolific users (influencers), related hashtags (where you can expand your visibility) and more. Data is downloadable in multiple formats.

Best regards,
Michael
