Which hashtags should I use on LinkedIn? How many hashtags are too many? Should I create my own hashtag to build thought leadership? Do hashtags work the same on LinkedIn as other channels? Since 2007 when the first hashtag was used on Twitter by a "too nerdy" Tom Huddleston Jr. Chris Messina, they have since exploded onto the scene to help us better communicate on the socials. Hashtags have helped us share the nuance of a topic, get into larger conversations, spark movements that change the culture, cleverly help us share insider knowledge, and even kickstart new trends! LinkedIn was a slow adopter, but now hashtags definitely "are a thing" that every LinkedIn user should know how to use effectively.
