That’s called a hashtag! Hashtags are used on popular social media websites like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram to make content searchable for different communities. For example, writers of creative fiction use the hashtag #spilledink on Tumblr to separate their content from any posts that might just have the word “writing” somewhere in the post. Hashtags can also be used for events as well! People who are posting about The Oscars on Twitter, for example, may tag their posts with the hashtag #oscars2017 to differentiate their posts from posts about previous Oscars, people named Oscar, etc. By using hashtags on Instagram, you make it easier for people to search for and find your content. Here are a couple examples:#photooftheday #catsofinstagram #dogsofinstagram #foodie #shelfie #longwoodlibraryHow do you find what hashtags you should use? Search for things that you like and see what tags are in the description of that picture! Check out the example below. 147515916510001355075252342900 ................
