Facebook Hashtag 101

by Pepi de Leon and friends.

3 days ago, June 12, 2013 – 115th Independence Day celebration ng Pilipinas; nag-announce ang Facebook na magi-implement na sila ng hashtag system. Ginagamit ang ganitong sistema para ma-monitor ng users ang trending topics sa Facebook server.

Pen sees hashtags

Ang nagpa-uso nito ay Twitter, pero hindi sa kanila original ang concept. Ginaya lang nila ang konsepto sa IRC networks o mas kilala bilang MIRC, isang chat system noong ako ay nasa high school pa lang (10-15 years ago).

Si Stowe Boyd naman ang father of #HashTag dahil sa kanyang pagsulat sa kanyang blog noong August 2007. Ngayon, ang #hashtag ay isa nang household term para sa topics na gusto mong ipa-trend.

Eto ang lessons natin para sa araw na ito. Mga na-complie ko lang ito sa aking timeline.

LESSON 1 : Hashtags Do Not Work ALWAYS.
#WagMaginitAngUlo.

Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit. Ang napansin ko lang, kapag feed lang siya from Twitter or mobile at may commands na hindi natapos/kumagat, hindi rin kakagat ng maayos ang hashtag mo.

LESSON 2 : Dashes Do Not Work On Hashtags.
#WagIpilitPlease

Kapag gumamit ka ng hashtag, wag mo na lagyan ng space / dash or kahit na anong special characters ang tag mo. Only letters and numbers are being recognized as characters in a hashtag.

Kung gusto mo #GumamitKaNgUppercase

LESSON 3 : Repeating Hashtags Do Not Work
#PaulitUlit

Pwede ka gumamit ng maraming hashtag sa isang post. Ginagamit ito usually para maipasok ang post mo sa maraming trending topics. It saves time. Ang kaso lang, hindi nakakadagdag sa pag-trend ang tatlong beses na inulit na hashtag sa isang post.

Sorry dude. Di bale, magcha-champion naman ang #Miami eh.

LESSON 4 : Hashtag is ALT + 4.
#Tandaan

Tandaan na hashtag ay gumagamit ng hash at hindi @ sign or amper&and. Sa Facebook, kung ita-tag mo ang isa mong friend, there would be other means.

Hindi basta-basta kumakagat dito ang pag-gamit ng @ sign para ma-mention si friend. You need to be patient. Read more about it here.

Ngayon, sigurado akong tatanggapin ng cyberworld at netizens ang hashtag sa pinakasikat na social media site ngayon na Facebook. Wala namang masama sa pagsunod sa trending. Kung makakabuti ito para sa karamihan, bakit hindi di ba?

Mas madali ma-monitor ang balita kapag may hashtag.

Ito ang sample ng tama at simpleng paggamit ng hashtag:

BONUS LESSON: Template URL ng hashtag ay http://www.facebook.com/hashtag/(*insert tag here*)

Sampol:

Alam na ninyo siguro kung ano ang trending topic ngayon.

Movie Review: Man Of Steel

*Sa Tagalog, Boy-Bakal.

I was expecting too much love angles with Lana Lang or Lois Lane. I was expecting the usual Lex Luthor arcenemy collision. I was expecting the normal superhero movie. I was wrong.

Man Of Steel – Now Showing *salamat kay pentells for the pic

Sa movie na ito na-define ang beginnings ng isang Superman. Binuksan nito ang pinto para sa lahat ng pwedeng sumunod na movies gaya na lang ng bulung-bulungan na Justice League. Nandito ang elements ng history at explanation kung bakit iba si Kal-El kumpara sa kanyang mga planetmates.

Dito mo makikita kung anong psychology ang naibigay kay Clark Kent kaya kahit na naririnig niya ang lahat ng bagay sa mundo, kaya pa rin niyang maging “sane”. Dito rin mapapanood kung bakit kung kelan matanda na si Clark Kent e dun lang niya naisipang tumulong sa mga tao. Dito sa movie na ito kakapit ng mahigpit sayo ang ka-date mo dahil may pagka-suspense/thriller ang mga eksena.

Hindi ako nagsisisi at pinanuod namin ang movie na ito.

Ito favorite lines ko na nai-post ko sa Twitter habang tumatakbo ang movie:

@pepideleon12 JunThe world is so big mom. #manofsteel
@pepideleon12 JunPeople are afraid of what they don’t understand. #manofsteel
@pepideleon12 JunKeep testing your limits. #manofsteel
‏@pepideleon12 JunI had to wait. The world is not ready. #manofsteel
@pepideleon12 JunThe world will react differently if they know there is someone who can do this out there. #manofsteel
‏@pentells12 JunSometimes you have take a leap of faith first, the trusting part comes later. #manofsteel
Wala raw ibang palabas sa sinehan kundi Man Of Steel. No choice ka! Manuod ka na!

KnP No Longer Has Blackberry 9220

*sa mommy ko na siya.

Nothing against sa Blackberry. Kung ako papipiliin, mas gugustuhin ko ang QWERTY na may BBM.

Ayoko naman ipamigay kung kani-kanino ang BB ko. Nasakin pa ang box at nasa 4K din ang presyo nito pag pinakawalan sa TipidCP.com. Yung BBM Pin ko ang mahalaga kaya mas mabuti kung sa kaibigan o kapamilya ko mapupunta ang telepono.

May tatlong buwan na rin naman sa akin ang phone kaya madali nang pakawalan.

BB 9220

Ang kaso lang, sa panahon ngayon na tag-ulan, parang mas maayos para sa akin ang mas maraming games. At makukuha ko lang ito sa Android.

Nag-upgrade si Pentells to iPhone7.5, sakin na niya ipinamana ang CM Flare. Dual SIM naman yun kaya magagamit ko yung dati niyang number hanggang sa wala nang mag-text doon at i-salpak ang aking beloved 0917KAMPEON na SIM Card.

Para naman hindi dalawang cellphone ang gamit ko.

CM Flare

So paano ba yan. Yung BBM Pin ko na 2A4B385F ay hindi na sa akin. Hindi ko alam kung bubuksan pa ni mommy yung BB Chat kaya hindi ko masasabi na magagamit pa ito.

Well, you can still reach me thru WeChat at Viber. Pwede rin sa Twitter @pepideleon para mas mabilis. I will always be online still.

Makapaghanap nga muna ng malulupit na Android Apps.

Tiger Airways Philippines Will Offer Kalibo-Singapore Route

*starting next month; July 2013

Hindi pa rin ako nakakalabas ng bansa. Solid Pinoy at solid Philippine destinations lang ako. Kung lalabas ako ng bansa, pupunta siguro ako ng Singapore para maghanap ng trabaho, Malaysia para makita ang Petronas Towers, Australia para makakita ng kangaroo, or Hongkong para makapag-shopping.

At nakadepende pa kay Pentells kung saan niya gusto pumunta. Nung huli ko siyang tinanong, Australia ang sagot niya.

Flying Tiger

Pag international destinations, wala pa akong airline of choice. At mukhang promising itong Tiger Airways. Noong unang panahon, sa Clark lang sila lumilipad. Wala pa akong nakitang Tiger Airways sa NAIA.

Masaya akong lilipad siguro palabas ng bansa kung sasakay ako sa Tiger, ang aking Chinese Zodiac. Kagaya ng Tiger Economy ng Pilipinas, sinasabayan ng Tiger Airways Philippines ang pag-boom natin.

Flights operated by Tiger Airways Philippines

A new Tiger has arrived – and it brings with it a promise of a great adventure, memorable experiences, and the excitement of a new journey.

Known as the leading and most trusted value-for-money carrier in Southesast Asia, Tiger Airways Philippines will make its formal debut in the skies beginning July 10.

“Tiger Airways is the leading airline and travel partner connecting people across Asia Pacific. It is a distinguished regional brand that differentiates itself in terms of safety and reliability,” says newly-appointed president and chief executive officer (CEO) Ms. Olive Ramos.

Committed to bringing its customers its brand of friendly, high-quality service,  and excellent standards of security,  Tiger Airways Philippines promises to make travel around Asia more enjoyable.

With the Philippines poised to become Asia’s next tiger economy, Tiger Airways anticipates more flights connecting the country to its Asian neighbors – and even beyond, in the coming years. “It’s a niche we are eager and equipped to serve,” adds Tiger Airways’ chief.

Currently, Tiger Airways flies to Singapore, Bangkok, Hong Kong from Manila and Clark. Locally, it serves travelers going to Laoag, Bacolod, Kalibo, Cebu, Iloilo Tacloban and Puerto Princesa.

Next month, Tiger Airways will add another feather to its cap when it marks a milestone – the Kalibo and Singapore route, the first and only airline to offer such route.

“We embrace the simple belief that travel is about bringing people closer to their dreams and about enabling great experiences, and memories,” adds Ramos.

The new Tiger Airways Philippines will offer great value and seamless experience. Together with the Filipino personnel’s warm and hospitable traits, the airline will be “the one to beat” in the coming years, she adds.

The birth of Tiger Airways Philippines brings along with it the technology and business savvy of Tiger Airways as it offers travelers greater accessibility to the rest of Southeast Asia. It does not only commit to high performance standards and innovation, it also confident about keeping its venture more sustainable for stakeholders.

Tiger Air embodies a ‘can-do’ and respectful spirit, according to Ramos. “We will continuously pursue for roaring excellence. We are going to be the airline of choice!”

Google Releases Special Logo For Philippine Independence

Hindi magpapatalo ang Google, lalo pa’t may office na sila dito sa Pinas.

It has been 115 years since unang beses winagayway ang bandila natin sa Kawit, Cavite. Three stars and a sun na may pula’t bughaw, yan naman ang watawat ng Pilipinas, na makikita rin sa Google search kapag nagpunta ka sa http://www.google.com.ph ngayong June 12, 2013.

Higit tatlong taon na ring gimik ng Google ito. Pinapalitan nila ang logo nila depende sa araw. Naaalala ko pa nga dati na may pacman game sa Google search page. Nagkaroon din ng Amelia Earhart day. Hindi rin nawawala ang Christmas, New Year, Valentines at kung anu-ano pang special occasions.

Pero ngayon, ito lang ang makikita sa Google:
