#Hashtags Finally Adopted, Prepped For Use By Facebook

Twitter is one of Facebook’s biggest contenders in terms of user numbers and popularity. Although it is true that people use Twitter for different reasons than Facebook, it does seem that Twitter is on the rise.  That is, of course, until #Facebook decided they will mimic Twitter's hash tag schema.  Yes, marketing buffs - Facebook copies Twitter to impose it's global will on the social media world, making your multidimensional plans single faceted.

Because Facebook is your more well-rounded social media tool, analysts and business owners wonder how much marketing effort Instagram, Digg and StumbleUpon deserve, and if they should consider picture uploading tools even worthy of their time.  Hash tags do so much more for, like, everyone. 

Social Marketing Advantage: Facebook

Different SEO techniques have always played an important role when it comes to websites ranking well in search engine results. Although many years have passed by since SEO has become essential for every website owner, there are still people who do not take advantage of SEO techniques.

Hash tags have played an integral role in identifying trends across Twitter of interest to consumers, an ideology which should launch social media marketing campaign madness on Facebook.

Engagement Advantage: Facebook

Finding ways to streamline your business processes can help you to excel in the competitive marketplace. You've probably heard that success using Facebook is about engaging with your audience, but what does that really mean? Engagement doesn't just mean getting likes and shares. You have to build a relationship with your fans to really engage them.

Businesses benefit from having a Facebook page because it has become one of the hottest marketing tools on the internet today.  When the site first took off, everyone thought MySpace will sweep Facebook off their porch, making FB a passing fad.  Nearly ten years later, and millions would not know what to do without their Facebook posts.  Adding the hash tag schema, and you've probably buried Twitter in their own backyard - for now.

Sharing Advantage: Facebook

Conducting business in this fast-paced world can be exhausting now that we’re connected with professionals all over the country via Facebook and Twitter. But sometimes, flying from state to state just to meet with clients, investors, and interviewees means some level of quick collaboration - piggybacked off social platforms, of course - is necessary.  Don't worry; #collaboration is much easier now that other multimedia companies have stepped their game up.

Cloud collaboration has already moved to social media platforms, evident by recent implementations that workflow software kingpin Comindware finalized over the last year.  Share projects, 'like' work progress - you know, a normal day at Facebook headquarters.

Somehow, the entire #Facebook announcement falls right into the lap of automation technology, making companies like BP Logix, Caradigm and Comindware instant cloud heroes. 

The social gauntlet has been dropped.  We await your rebuttal, #Twitter.
