Are you using HashTags with your twitter tweets

Few days back we talked about Kevin rouse Twitter directory Wefollow, which help you to get yourself listed in the Twitter directory by tweeting your niche along with hashtags.

To explain Hashtags , it helps you to keep track of latest ongoing by using a unique keywords with a hash or this can be used to track events using a unique hashtag.

I was unaware of importance of hashtags for   long time. Last time when I attended wordcamp where hashtag used was #wci I got to understand the concept of hashtags. Then I started using the hashtags to track any event. Infact after knowing the fact I realize that my previous twitter profile @shoutmeloud was not showing in twitter search result.

Hashtag help you to keep a track of important events. Lets talk about oscars where hastag was #Oscars and if you use tweetdeck or any other twitter client and track any topic using hashtag, you can see all the latest buzz.

Last month I started tweeting using Hashtags, when ever I had to tweet anything about Firefox or wordpress I make sure that I always add a hash before the keyword.

This help me to receive more response to my tweets and subsequently increased my number of tweeters followers.

This is for people who are using twitter as a main stream tool to be active on social media, they need to keep track of things in real-time.

My suggestion would be don’t feel shy to follow interesting Twitter personalities who talk about your niche. At the same time you can use various tools to find interesting tweeters and don’t forget to add yourself into Twitter directories.

Alternatively you can follow me @denharsh and to   receive shoutmeloud feeds updates follow @shoutmeloud .

Don’t forget that apart from lots of twitter application we recommend Tweetdeck as shoutmeloud choice of Twitter client.
