#Twitterbook: Facebook Steals Hashtag For Itself

Facebook have spent the last few months trying to reinvent itself to improve user experience, to maximise advertising potential, to keep the design up-to-date and all without disrupting Facebook fans.

A real challenge.

The latest addition to your Facebook, according to the Wall Street Journal, will be the use of hashtags.

#Yes. #Because they’re #digital, #hip and have been a huge #success in #Twitterland.

The newspaper reports: “Facebook is working on incorporating the hashtag, one of Twitter’s most iconic markers, into its service by using the symbol as a way to group conversations, said people familiar with the matter.

“It is unclear how far along Facebook’s work on the hashtag is and the feature isn’t likely to be introduced imminently, these people said.”
