Entry #7: #Blog

Hashtags are a big thing in the media community especially in social media. I know I have used them a couple of times. They can be used to describe a picture, express a feeling or even express a topic. I know I love them because if I wish to look something up on Instagram or Facebook it is easy to find. For example if I want to watch funny videos on Instagram all I have to do is search #funnyvideos. It’s just very easy to look up things that are an interest to you. Whether that is music, TV shows, movies, brands, people, trend, favorite word or even organizations. There is a hashtag on mostly anything you can think of.
Although there are some people that over use it there are others that actually use it for a good cause. Hashtags can be used to show awareness of serious issues. Some of these issues can very from postpartum depression, weight loss, weigh gain, immigration, rape issues, LGBT issues, women right and many more. When people use these hashtags they show their own experience and their support. People can even give their own advise or even share an informational websites that people can go and receive help or information on these issues.
Although people overuse hashtags they are many that find a way to make hash tags useful.
