Boston Restaurant Blog -- July, 2013

For those of you on the Twitter site, you may have noticed that over the past few weeks people have been asking questions about restaurants on the hiddenboston Twitter page, with the answers being posted for all to see. And using the hashtag #BHRquestions, folks can not only see the latest questions (and answers), but can also see earlier questions from others. So what exactly is a hashtag? Well, it's a word or phrase that starts with the "pound" sign, which turns the word/phrase into a live link that people can click. By using the hashtag "BHRquestions" (which stands for "Boston's Hidden Restaurants questions"), the questions and answers can easily be found within the Twitter site.

Here's an example of how it works--say you have a question about restaurants in Allston. All you have to do it ask a question (including @hiddenboston in the question) and the answer will be posted as a RT (retweet) or an MT (modified tweet). If the question (from a person named @blahblahblah) is worded as:

"@hiddenboston, any good cheap eats spots in Allston? #BHRquestions"

The answer might come back as

"Shanghai Gate is good.
RT @blahblahblah any good cheap eats spots in Allston? #BHRquestions"

That's about it! It's very easy to do. Just remember--our Twitter page is at @hiddenboston and all the activity for the hashtag can be found at #BHRquestions.
