Using (hash-)tags

Purpose

Tags or hashtags are special keyword that help users to easily find content in social networks. Hash means the number sign (#) which is the prefix of those keywords. Clicking a hashtag invokes a keyword search.

On Ocelot.Social networks you can tag your posts to provide users with an easy one-click keyword search method and find related posts. You can add multiple tags to the same post.

By entering keywords into the search bar you can find posts containing specific tags.

Hashtags can be used for many purposes, even to build groups and connect with other users.

Notice: Hashtags can be used in posts only and not in comments.

Inserting a hashtag

1. Put your cursor into the post where you would like to insert the tag.
2. Type the number sign (#). If you don't find it on your keyboard just copy it from the number sign page of Wikipedia and past it into your post.
3. Type the keyword. Permitted characters are

• at least an upper or lower case letter – also in other scripts of the world permitted
• number(s)
• underline(s)

4. If the tag already exists in the network please click on it on the list. If it is highlighted there just press the Enter key.
5. If it is a new keyword please click the new hashtag unter "New hashtag" or press the Space key.
