Facebook Hashtags Introduced



Facebook said that it will start to take off the characteristic on its informal community, making it less demanding for clients and publicists to find problem areas of client movement around particular occasions or points.

The hashtag, which shows up as the # image and was initially promoted on Twitter, empowers clients to take after particular points of discussion inside an informal organization perpetually modifying stream of client remarks. Facebook clients can now aggregate remarks on the same theme by sorting the hashtag close by an essential word-, for example #election -at the close of a post.

The hashtag has turned out to be a helpful framework for interpersonal interaction clients to join online discussion as occasions unfold progressively, for example political civil arguments, TV events and games. What's more it furnishes a simple route for publicists to achieve a specific crowd.

I am still to test how it applies cross-linking to different social media platforms such as Vine, Twitter and Instagram. Search or hashtag results may vary from these social media sites, what's important is that it now works.

Google Analytics: Change History Now Available

Hey Google Analytics admins! Ever wondered who added filters to your default profile? How about those new users added to your GA account? Or who deleted the regex include filter you spent all week writing?

Yeah it seems to be such a pain experiencing one or all of these problems and not knowing who or how. It is a common GA admin dilemma until just recently that Google Analytics announced that they are enabling Change History! Yes fellow GA admins, we can now see who messed up our settings, lol! But seriously, we can now track changes done in our respective Google Analytics accounts.

According to GA team, the Change History lists:

  • Date column: The date and time of the activity
  • Email column: Which Analytics user performed the activity
  • Activity column: The Analytics object (e.g., account, user, profile, goal, filter), and what activity was performed on the object (e.g., added to account, created, deleted)
This feature can be accessed on the 'admin' tab and through the account list breadcrumb at the top.

**For confidentiality, I can't add an image of the actual change history of my account.

So is this a great update or what?! We do love data and tracking, now GA added the ability for us to track how one of the best tools of our trade is being used. Cheers!
