How to find the right hashtags for your twitter posts certainly involves some work on your part but without hashtags, your twitter posts will have only 20% reach. That 25% is only from your loyal followers. If you want new followers to your twitter profile, if you want your tweets attract tweeters who are important, you need to include the right hashtags to your posts in twitter.

The search box in twitter is effectively used by majority of internet marketers with the right hashtags followed by their search term.

I am not going to explain what a hashtag is because, this blog post targets experienced bloggers. May be in some other post, I will explain all about hashtags and its importance in internet marketing or blog post promotion.

How do I generate my hashtags?

There are tools to find the trending hashtags in twitter but I employ my own method. It is really simple. I search for the keyword in twitter that I focused in my blog post. I search by placing that hashtag ‘#’ before my search word(s).  If my search word is more than one, I ensure that there is no space in between the words. I generally use only two words in my hashtag.

If my search shows similar hashtags in the search results, then, I would apply that hashtag. I repeat the search for synonyms of the words or I slightly alter my search term using a bit of common sense. I am sorry I could not explain logic behind it.

Now, a bit of exploration of the hashtags finding tools that are available.

The first tool is Twitter itself. There is no better place. As mentioned above, if you repeat my method, you don’t need another tool. Still, it may be useful to know about some of the Twitter tools. You should know that some of the most followed tweeters have said that they have employed real time marketing techniques and that means going with the trending tweets and the related hashtags.

Trendsmap

Trendsmap displays trending hashtags in real time from all over the world. I tested it but I found it be not very user friendly. In addition, it is not free.

RiteTag

This is a very good tool that lets you know if the hashtags that you wish to apply has got some meaning.

1. You type in your preferred hashtag and press the ‘space’ bar. You will your hashtag colored and you can press a ‘compare’ button beside it.
2. Then, you can see some observation of your hashtag such as Unique tweets per hour, retweets per hour, hashtag exposure per hour, % of tweets with mentions and some more.
3. The ‘some more’ are daily averages, geographical distribution and importantly the popular twitters accounts that used and how many number of followers they have. Superb stats.
4. I tested it just an hour before and I am amazed by the usefulness of the tool. You can find users who have used the same hashtag, retweet or like their tweets to get noticed. Very effective and ethical way to get followers.
5. In addition, it gives you a browser extension to automatically color your hashtags. As I wrote this, I tested the extension and yes, it colored my hashtag as and when I typed in the Twitter box.

 hashtagify.me

With Hashtagify.me, you can find others who used the same hashtags so that you can target your tweets by tagging them along in your tweets. Cool tool really. Even if you do not want to tag them, simply like their tweets that contain the same hashtag as yours or even retweet it to get noticed.

“Getting Noticed”-that should be your prime goal in twitter marketing.

Tagboard

Tagboard simply lets you search for a hashtag that you want to use and then displays all the tweets that contain the same hashtag along with the images the tweets originally carried. I tried it and some of the images inspired me to find more meaning for my searched hashtag.

Beyond these twitter hashtags tools, you can use your own creative way to come up with new hashtags that have not been used before. I do that and I urge you too.

As a result of the merger, Verizon will attract a lot of users, estimated over a billion, from all over the world. However, it also has a lot of challenges to overcome.

FEATURES OF OATH

The new platform Oath, will have services offered from both Yahoo and AOL.  A technological explorer, it has brands in different categories. It has also one of the most used mail services. Popular features from it like the Mail, Finance and Tumblr may remain. After two data breaches which affected more than one billion accounts it asked its users to reset their passwords. It’s Fantasy Sports will also retain its own brand and will not be rebranded as Oath Fantasy Baseball. AOL, another famous technology firm had obtained near about fifty brands like the Huffington Post, Engadget, Tumblr and TechCrunch. Oath aims to work upon the resources offered by both  to reach out to a wider audience.

In other words, Oath will serve as an umbrella brand that will have the familiar names known by its users. The figures of one billion consumers who utilize the collection of more than fifty brands shows that it is one of the most sought after online destination. Tim Armstrong, former CEO of AOL, will head this new platform. He is positive about the very next move as he says that corporate brands like both,” go away to be replaced by Oath under Verizon “. Therefore, the users need not worry about the changes right now.

CONCLUSION

Yahoo CEO Marissa Meyer will resign this July after Verizon had fully acquired it’s internet business excluding the stakes in the Alibaba group and Yahoo Japan. This deal provides Verizon a portfolio of advertisement technology assets and digital properties which will be major positive move in alluring more users. It is supposed to be a third entity in the digital advertising market as it may collect five billion in advertisement sales after taking of it’s business.

The world is introduced to a new device that is promoting communication between people of different religions with the help of artificial intelligence! One2One – the artificial intelligence which is powered to translate languages for the users comes as a wonder earpiece set to make your notions of technology change. The One2One device was introduced by Lingmo international which is an Australian Start-up and has used IBM Watson’s technology of natural language understanding to make One2One  compatible with the words and the context in which they are spoken. The device takes a good understanding of the words and their contexts before converting it into the required language – all of this happens instantly!

One2One is a revolutionary technology oriented device which does not make use of Bluetooth or Wifi for the communication or translations. It works on its own gamut and thus is easily a powerful device to even take on airlines and remote areas. The One2One device equipped to translate a range of languages like Italian, French, Spanish, English, German, Chinese, Japanese etc. This is possible only if both the speaker and the hearer is wearing the earpiece on their ears!

This revolutionary earpiece One2One was launched at the event recently held in Geneva, Switzerland – United Nations AI for Good Summit! The developer of the One2One earpiece i.e. Lingmo International has stated that the use of the natural language understanding technology of IBM Watson has helped in curbing down the common translation problems. In regional dialects there are difference in the way letters like ‘ll’, ‘y’, ‘sh’, ‘ou’ etc are pronounced. This was done after repeated searches in varied forms of translators across the world and tests on them which proved useless. The founder of Lingmo International , Danny May confirmed that IBM Watson’s technology was approved only after checking on a lot of softwares like Google Translators etc which didn’t serve the purpose!

The use of the IBM Watson’s technology has been a boon to developing a fluent translation process without any spoken hurdles! After checking on various common dialects and some uncommon ones, the earpiece served the best purpose with this technology and so the start-up chose to stay put with IBM. It shall be noted that Lingmo International has been making waves in the market ever since they launched their first translation service via an app in 2013.there have been other translation devices too on the launch, like the earpiece called Pilot developed by Mobile World Congress, but One2One definitely adds to their big product in the market and makes to the market much before others!

The One2One earpiece is all set to take on the market in July with a pre-booking price of $179 which has started as of now! You can book your own device today and get it in your hands my mid July. You can also check on the Translation app by Lingmo International which comes with a complementary currency convertor! With languages being translated with a simple earpiece we are definitely stepping towards a more connected world ahead!
