Hashtags: Tag your entries like on Twitter or Facebook

Don’t like our classic tagging system that sometimes can clutter up your Freckle account? Want sleek-looking Hashtags instead? Watch the video to learn all about Hashtags!

Check out the transcript of this video below! :)

This summer we wanted to make a splash!  Start things off right and look good doing it.

So we decided to give tags a major make-over.  It wasn’t easy and it got a little ugly, but we can proudly introduce to you, HASHTAGS!

Gone are the days of 1 to 2 word tags.  Hashtags can be up to 50 characters long and just like in your Twitter or Facebook account, they can’t have spaces.  If you need to use a space, just type the underscore key.

When you use hashtags, you avoid accidentally creating too many tags that clutter your Freckle account. Too many!

No more confusion.  No more silly song and dance to keep tags from becoming descriptions and descriptions from becoming tags.

That’s because anything you type without a hash sign (#) at the beginning will automatically become a description.

Aaand best of all, hashtags make for a more mouse free entry. You can quickly tab through your choices just by typing the first letter of your tag.
