14. Takeaways part quatre
Hashtags (ps. my dad still calls it a pound sign)
Good hashtag –
Put your kid in a neon yellow shirt and he’ll be much
easier to find. Do a search for all kids in a neon yellow
shirt and that will eliminate a lot of kids to help
narrow your search.
Bad hashtag –
Put your kid in shorts. Do a search for all kids in shorts.
You’re going to narrow down some, but not a whole lot.
