When, why, and how should you use hashtags on social media? We can help you answer that!

The hashtag is a powerful tool for categorizing content, finding and participating in discussions, and organizing communication around a specific topic. It’s also — depending on who you ask — a silly tool for brands and social media influencers to get more engagement (likes, views, retweets, shares, etc.) for their advertisements and posts.

Create a shared Photo Stream to show off your best pics to friends and family.

Apple makes it possible for you to create a mini social networking group dedicated to photography. It’s called a Shared Photo Stream and it’s part of the Photos app on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. When you create a Shared Photo Stream, you invite others to see your pictures. Friends and family can also upload their own pictures and like or comment on pics.
