    I know this has never been a working feature, but this morning I noticed in my Facebook news feed that someone used a hash tag for their status update and to my shock it was in the blue hyperlink format.

    Is this now a working feature?

    @watsonks Do you have a screenshot? I haven’t seen it, tried myself and it’s not a link

    This is a screenshot of a test run I did on my FB account. I am now wondering if it’s actually a feature with my HootSuite Google Chrome add-on. When I click the hash tag hyperlink it opens up the HootSuite search window. Just never noticed it until now.

    I haven’t seen that yet, @watsonks- I would be very interested if that was a feature!  I wonder if it would work with public posts only – I guess it would have to!  Very interesting.

    I have seen people use hash tags as well (not so sure about the hyperlink part).

    I am not sure why people will use hash tags on FB posts. The only thing I could think is that they are also invitating the viewers to visit their posts and stories on Twitter and Google+.  It will definetely be nice if FB incorporates hash tags.
