The Google Hashtag Directory

It is very difficult to keep up with changes and updates from Google. I most definitely learn from other people in my PLN on Twitter, Google Plus, and by reading blogs.  Every time I blog about Google, I always include certain hashtags in my social media posts which are distributed on Google Plus, Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter.  As you can see, hashtags are not just for Twitter, they can be used on all social media platforms.  

Thanks to Kasey Bell, from Shake Up Learning, she has put together a list of Google Dictionary hashtags that are commonly used on her blog.  

I definitely learned something new from her blog post.  I hope you did too!
