First of all famous American
newspaper Wall Street Journal leaked Facebook plan for launching Hashtag
feature today on its official website. Wall Street Journal further stated that,
Hashtag # will be used for group conversation initially only but later on it
could be used for other purposes like twitter. It seems uncertain that how Facebook Hashtag (#)
will really work and will it be like Twitter’s Hashtag or different.
Hashtag is a symbol
used for (#). Hashtag is very much famous in twitter for collecting tweets and
information related to any topic by simply tying Hashtag before any word. For
example
- #pop this week
- #songs by xyz signers
- # Movies this month
- Etc
Social Media analyst are
saying that Facebook has started to copy twitter’s features as there is no any
restriction under law. Twitter will seriously notice this issue if they feels
any familiarity between Hashtag of Twitter with Facebook. Twitter is using Hashtag
(#) for many years. In Twitter Hashtag is used for collecting any information
related to specific single topic, place, event or anything else.
Today, Hashtag # is not
only used for collecting specific information regarding some specific topic or
product etc but, it also helps in building advertising strategies for both
users and advertisers (products/brands/companies). Introducing Hashtag (#) in Facebook
can start highly competition between Twitter and Facebook for advertising
revenues and attracting companies for making their own Hashtags for specific
brands, products or goodwill etc. According to some strong sources, using Hashtag
(#) will definitely boost advertising revenue of Facebook.
E-Marketing Analyst
said Facebook is continuously copying some of Twitter’s famous features. Some of
them are as follows;
- Using @ sign for tagging of famous brands and superstars
- Using Subscriber features listing for its members
- Now Facebook is going to copy a new feature of Hashtag (#) for group conversation purpose.
According to GMA News,
Facebook was the first social media website used for advertisement and later
Twitter came but Twitter quickly changed its design in order to make more space
for advertisements and hence Facebook has also recently changed its design for
vary purpose. After launching of Hashtag (#), it could be said that Facebook
will be more attractive to advertisers like Twitter and hence it will increase Facebook
advertisement earning. Keep visiting my
