Do you know what a #hashtag is? It's a growingly popular to associate things you post online with some specific event, location or topic. Did you just post a picture from a BEAN networking event last night on Flickr? Add a #beanppl tag to it. Did you just post a video from a BEAN volunteering event last week on Youtube? Add a #beandiff tag to it. Did you send an update on Twitter about a BEAN social event you are at right now? Add a #beanfun tag to it. Are you writing a blog entry about the officers retreat you just attended? Add a #beanlead tag to it.

What do these tags mean and what do they do? These tags adds context to everything you are creating and sharing via all the great social media tools out there. For BEAN specifically, we plan to pull your pictures, videos, updates, blogs and voice together to paint a rich tapestry of our little global movement, 10,000+ strong.
