How easy do you make it for people to know the hashtags to share about your library?

I like it when hashtags are easy to find.  The top picture shows how the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney makes it easy for people to find their hashtag.  It is in various places through the gardens.  You can see how people are using #rbgsydney.

The picture below shows part of a page from Pompom, a knitting magazine, and each knitted item has its own hashtag.  Using the example of #ixchelpullover, you can see, as well as the magazine images, people sharing their own knitting.

how to you let people know what hashtags you are monitoring?

 This photograph shows a sign which was attached to a fence, at what was mainly an outdoor event.  It was easy to see.  It was helpful to have the social media streams spelled out, as with some organisations, this can be a challenge.

How do you let people know how they can connect with your organisation on social media?

interesting use of Storify

I subscribe to updates from Storify which usually means I receive alerts about people I follow on twitter, and a few Storify accounts I follow like Human Rights Watch, ABC news, and National Theatre of Scotland, all really interesting accounts.  The embedded Storify came through as well, and while it is not my usual reading, it is interesting because it is an effective use of Storify.  It has the the branding of the business (Clarence House) and effective use of the text insert areas, to add to the story told through social media.  It also shows how a hashtag (even a really long one) can be socialised into use.

I really like the way that Sydney Festival makes it easy to know how to connect with it online. Variations of this sign seem to be at the different venues, so you know what social media channels they are using.

It is clear, catchy and impressive.
