Do you know how to use social media tagging?
Social Media Tagging
To “Tag” or “Link” to someone on Social Media use the following symbol(s) and without a space, the first character(s) of the person’sname/business name.
A drop-down list of matches will appear.
Select the person you want to “Tag” from the list.
For some of the social media sites you must be a personal contact, friend or follower to show up in the list.
I have only included the sites I use on a daily basis here – if you have more you’d like to share please leave the information in the comments!

Use the @ symbol for:
For Google+ you can also use the + symbol to tag 🙂
Super simple and super effective !
Remember to only Tag relevant information – too much tagging of irrelevant information can be considered spam!
So “Tag” Responsibly!
Hope this helps someone 🙂
