Another Word For It Patrick Durusau on Topic Maps and Semantic Diversity

Effective #hashtags

Filed under: Hashtags,Tweets — Patrick Durusau @ 4:53 pm

I ran across http://hashtagify.me/ trying to be more effective with Twitter posts about topic maps.

If I post on the graph database Neo4j, which hashtag should I use: #neo4j or #Neo4j?

In efforts to communicate, saying that listeners “need to be educated,” a phrase from #semanticweb (SemanticWeb, semanticWeb?) circles, is a poor strategy. If your goal is to communicate.

Speakers should use words and phrases listeners are likely to understand.

For Twitter, that means using the most common hash tags for any given subject.

Otherwise you are sexting with different key combinations than everyone else.

Has to be frustrating. 😉

Oh, the numbers:

Variants: neo4j:79% Neo4j:21%

Variants: semanticweb:66% SemanticWeb:31% semanticWeb:3%

With some research you can improve your Twitter communication skills.
