Hi Joe, thanks for the props. Two is always enough when it comes to tagging, one is better. But for the sake of SEO, people use 3 or 4, which can be okay if they are relevant. If they’re random, I switch off – very much like you do.

I agree, hashtags are becoming increasingly important. Maybe SMMU can do an ebook on hashtagging one of these days!

Great piece on the evolution of the good ol’ pound symbol. I guess it will never be called that again. You bring up a very good point about ethically using certain hashtags, as I’ve seen many business accounts and certified accounts use them in very poor taste. One or two hashtags in a post is plenty…I’m sure we all have encountered a post with #hashtagoverload. It’s draining on the eyes and automatically makes the reader skip right over it to the next tweet. Thanks for sharing.

Great article on #hashtagsforbusiness. I have seen a few people using hashtags on Facebook and like the meme says, some of them overdo it. I think someone needs to write an etiquette book for hashtags, when to use, how many is acceptable on one post, etc
