My Google+ Hashtags

Yeah I know they don’t really work on Google+ (I live in hope though ) but as you can see I’m already adding tags to most of my posts. Most of the time they are generic tags like #tech but I’ve just been tidying up some old posts and have added the following (potentially) useful tags… at least for me.

#kolgoogleplusidea
https://plus.google.com/s/%23kolgoogleplusidea
Google+ feature suggestions or suggestions ported over from over services. Also includes my Google+ Ideas Google Doc (editable to all if you wish)

#kolblog
https://plus.google.com/s/%23kolblog
My blog posts on Google+. It’s not exclusive to me but, heck, all these tags are open to abuse. ;-)

#kolblogidea
https://plus.google.com/s/%23kolblogidea
Kinda my prep posts for my blogs, crowd-sourcing ideas or thoughts on future blog posts

#kolgoogleplus
https://plus.google.com/s/%23kolgoogleplus
Any Google+-related post I think is worth tracking long term

#kolcircles
https://plus.google.com/s/%23kolcircles
My Google+ Circles List posts

#kolreview
https://plus.google.com/s/%23kolreview
Any reviews I do

#kolstatusupdate
https://plus.google.com/s/%23kolstatusupdate
My status update-type posts. One for excluding from your searches maybe

#kolqotd
https://plus.google.com/s/%23kolqotd
My Question of the Day posts

#kolgreader
https://plus.google.com/s/%23kolgreader
Posts relating to Google Reader

#kolsharedcircle
https://plus.google.com/s/%23kolsharedcircle
These are the Google+ Circles I’ve shared

#kolgoogleplusfeeds
https://plus.google.com/s/%23kolgoogleplusfeeds
Basically my shared circles but listing the users in the post and requesting more suggestions

#kolgreadersites
https://plus.google.com/s/%23kolgreadersites
My Google Reader Feeds posts, lists of feeds I follow in various topics

Also, as I’m expertimeting with using Google+ as my blog (read my post here: https://plus.google.com/104405539079062799451/posts/FzGWczX2hgb) I’m now starting to add my regular post tags to my Google+ posts, e.g. #newmusicmonday:
https://plus.google.com/s/%23newmusicmonday

So if you wanted to see my New Music Monday posts then use a combo of #newmusicmonday and #kolblog:
https://plus.google.com/s/%23newmusicmonday%20%23kolblog

I’m sure I’ll be adding to this list of tags so (of course) I’ll tag these posts too, #kolhashtag (a hashtag for tagging hastags )

And yes, I’ve created saved searches for all these.

Another #plustip. If you’ve got a “Drafts” Circle and then used tags like above as saved searches, if you don’t want your draft posts coming up on your searches (they of course will only appear to you but nevertheless quite annoying) then add a #draft tag to them and then create a saved search for “#kolblog -#koldraft” (this filters out the draft posts from the searches, leaving you with your public posts only).

If you want all my hashtags in one easy-to-digestive package then I’ve put all my personal tags into one.

So from this:
#kolhashtag OR #kolqotd OR #kolstatusupdate OR #kolgoogleplusidea OR #kolblog OR #kolblogidea OR #kolgoogleplus OR #kolcirclesOR #kolreview OR #kolgreader OR #kolsharedcircle OR #kolgoogleplusfeeds OR #kolgreadersites

To this:
https://plus.google.com/s/%23kolhashtag%20OR%20%23kolqotd%20OR%20%23kolstatusupdate%20OR%20%23kolgoogleplusidea%20OR%20%23kolblog%20OR%20%23kolblogidea%20OR%20%23kolgoogleplus%20OR%20%23kolcircles%20OR%20%23kolreview%20OR%20%23kolgreader%20OR%20%23kolsharedcircle%20OR%20%23kolgoogleplusfeeds%20OR%20%23kolgreadersites

Note I’ve purposely not linked the bolded hashtags above for formatting tidiness. Use the links to view the hashtags search results, it’s the same thing. EDIT: Looks like Google+ has fixed the bug with the hashtags now.
