For instance, I clicked a friend's hashtag and it said there were 7 photos listed but I could only see 3 (not all my friend' sphotos, but all photos with that hashtag). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/instagram-do-you-use-hashtags-and-or-emoticons#post-654336 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 10:46:43 +0000 sorrycharlie 654336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't use hashtags to sort my pictures. I honestly think it's a lot more fun to see a picture and read sarcastic or witty hashtags than, "Here's a picture of Olivia - as you can see, she is refusing to go to sleep and flung her binky out of her crib!"...I don't find them annoying :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/instagram-do-you-use-hashtags-and-or-emoticons#post-654317 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 10:43:06 +0000 photojane 654317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so annoying with IG emoji. They're fun. No apologies. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/instagram-do-you-use-hashtags-and-or-emoticons#post-654311 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 10:42:16 +0000 cascademom 654311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm cool with hashtags, but hate emoticons. Adults using emoticons in a professional organization bug me to no end. Smart, rational adults filling up their messages with emoticons makes me "headdesk" so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/instagram-do-you-use-hashtags-and-or-emoticons#post-654304 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 10:40:41 +0000 pl0508 654304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use emoticons way more than hash tags but I do use both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/instagram-do-you-use-hashtags-and-or-emoticons#post-654298 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 10:40:02 +0000 MrsTiz 654298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: Ooh, good point. I hadn't thought of that but it's true! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/instagram-do-you-use-hashtags-and-or-emoticons#post-654297 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 10:39:31 +0000 BananaPancakes 654297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: See, that I understand. When you're using them as part of something. I just don't understand when someone uses 10 for each picture that literally just describes every single element of that picture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/instagram-do-you-use-hashtags-and-or-emoticons#post-654295 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 10:39:16 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 654295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't use hashtags because I don't want people I don't know looking at my pictures. I don't think I use emoticons. Neither of them bother me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/instagram-do-you-use-hashtags-and-or-emoticons#post-654294 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 10:38:56 +0000 autumnlove 654294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't use hash tags but I do use :-( or :-). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/instagram-do-you-use-hashtags-and-or-emoticons#post-654285 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 10:37:44 +0000 pui 654285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used hashtags when I made my gingerbread house and documented the process, because it was part of a contest.</p> <p>Otherwise, not really. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/instagram-do-you-use-hashtags-and-or-emoticons#post-654282 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 10:36:47 +0000 MrsTiz 654282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't use either. Hashtags seem very high-school to me, and I don't have an iPhone to make emoticons with! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/instagram-do-you-use-hashtags-and-or-emoticons#post-654281 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 10:36:10 +0000 BananaPancakes 654281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know this is a ridiculous thing to be annoyed over, but I can't help it. I hate hate hate random hashtags and emoticons on Instagram, especially now that they run over into Facebook. I just don't get 99% of their use. What is the point? Just to see if you can come up with something witty? I highly doubt you need to sort pictures into things like #noooo.</p> <p>Do you use hashtags and/or emoticons? An I missing something awesome I don't know about? Does anyone loathe them like I do? </p>
