Sharing with Writers and Readers

I run regular little "In the News" briefs in my SharingwithWriters newsletter when I see something in my reading that I think will be important for my subscribers. I sometimes duplicate that information on this blog when I can see that the new may be important to followers here, too.  Here is one I thought you should see:

In the News:  The LA Times reports that Facebook is working on a hashtag feature (you know, those little tic-tac-toe symbols) that will help folks tease out the wheatberries from the chaff in your updates. So instead of having to watch for my #FrugalBookPromoTips or scroll down until you find them, you’ll be able to call them up in an instant. And, even better, when you feed your tweets to Facebook, those hashtags in them won’t be just so much clutter.

By the way, you can subscribe to my newsletter and get a free e-copy of my Great Little Last-Minute Editing Tips for Writers by going to http://howtodoitfrugally.com. The subscription form is in the upper right corner of almost every page.  And, yessss! Find me on Facebook at http://facebook.com/carolynhowardjohnson.
