One of the fundamental rules with the use of Hashtags is
to avoid overusing them as the same reduces the usefulness by fragmenting the discussion.
To give your hashtag more relevancy & milieu, consider giving a quick
explanation with your tweets and make it perceptible on what is being talked
about. While creating a new hashtag, make sure that it adds more value to your
followers & yourself.
Another major & recurrent use of organizing hashtags is
with conferences & events by allowing the conversations of the speakers
& after-parties to be tracked via a hashtag. From an event organizers standpoint,
pick a single hashtag early on that represents your event or brand and remind
the attendees of the hashtag time and again. For others who are not Twitter
savvy, consider providing an easy conversation tracker for your website using Widgetbox or Tweetgrid (currently undergoing upgrades to
comply with the latest series of changes in Twitter’s API).
