Trying to understand the Hash Tag thing. Anyone got any advice? How do I get pictures up in the top like all the other big guys. I'm a little old to understand all this technology. Snypette's trying to teach me but she doesn't know about IG either.

Make moves discretely in real life, real ninjas lay low and let they product talk. Make a name in the real world not flexin on the internet.

basically when you type in a description for your picture in the app, you can also type in keywords in this format

#<word>

So for example:

Look at my great #weed picture. We got really #stoned off it.

The keyword with the # sign is clickable, and will bring up other pics of people who used the same keyword. This is the fun of it.

A lot of people make up their own nonsense keyword phrases like #hotlikefirewhutugottasayaboutit. I would avoid this and stick to common words; look at what other weed people are doing for common keywords.

I would also limit the use of tags to say 2-5 because it can get into obnoxious spam territory.

Oh shit! Thanks for that info! The problem is that none of my Hash Tags that I made are clickable. Not sure why.

Ah i see the issue snype. hashtags only work in the app; when viewed as a ewb page they dont do squat.

luckily most people use the app!

for your situation, you are in MA, i would look into local hashtags. right off the bat i can think of #bostonstoners... here are some others I found off that tag:

#bhoston
#dankachusets
#bostondabbers

you could go so far as to tag local colleges for example #amherst but that is risky as you toss your picture in with the rest of the squares who use that tag.

I'd also hashtag all the strain name, just as #witchesweed
