Hi, dear All,
Here is a simple compilation of data, I collected over the past few months, regarding 'Connect Tagging'.
What is TAGGING & How to use '@TAG' in Connect.
When we start any post [or letter], we start with:
‘Hi everyone’ / 'Dear Friends' or similar addressing… is it not?
In connect too, this is what we all do; but we have an additional facility to ‘address & notify’, up to 10 LGs (per Post), personally. That is what Tagging is!
- In LG Connect, ‘@ID’ (ID = username of a LG) is used to specifically address a LG (or a moderator), to get their direct attention, by sending a Notification to him/her.
- Using “@” before the Username (No gap between '@'symbol & Username) of an addressing person, is known as “Tagging”. For example, my LG Connect ID is ‘TravellerG’ (Important: Tags are Case sensitive) and I can be notified about a post, by using ‘@TravellerG’ TAG in your post.
- After (SLOWLY) typing Symbol ‘@’ + 2 characters, Connect, starts giving you, option of the names of different LGs and select the right one, from the drop-down menu.
- The selected name along with the ‘@’ sign, will be shown in light blue color.
- Important:
- Type the ID (Name) characters very, very slowly (Alphabet by Alphabet), as fast typing may not display the Tag you want.
- Once you see your expected username in the drop-down menu, select it from the Drop-down Menu (directly) to add as Tag, by clicking on it.
- Also, avoid moving computer cursor, using the arrow key, over the tagged names.
- Tags can be typed continuously or separately; however, copy & pasting of a chain of Tags, may not work always.
Other Important Points:
- Always, better to Tag ‘Like-minded people ONLY; for knowing this, {1} Go through published posts and collect IDs of those who have published posts, with the topics of your interest. (Eg: I may be tagged in your posts of topics like, Photography, Travel, Street View, Technical Discussions, FAQ, Tips, etc.) {2} Collect the names of LGs who have Replied to your Posts. {3} And collect the names of LGs who have given KUDOS to your posts! (Make a practice of noting down Like-Minded LGs' names, as it will help you in future Posts). {4} Make a request in your Post, to your friends to TAG their Like-Minded friends, which will also help a lot.
- Tag Moderators, ONLY if it is very much needed:
- First, search your doubt, in the Connect forum, & if you don’t get a satisfied answer, then,
- Post your doubt in our Connect Forum - one of our LGs or voluntarily, a moderator will answer you.
- And, still, if your doubt persists, then feel free to TAG one or two, or Maximum three Moderators – your doubt will be cleared.
- Avoid tagging moderators for general posts (even if you don’t tag, some of the moderators will attend, almost all the posts), unless, they show specific interest in a topic.
- Tagging is permitted only up to a maximum of 10 IDs; a post having more than 10 tags will be denied to be posted, while publishing/submitting.
- I stress, not to over Tag, by using TAGs, in the answers (unless it is really essential); it is not a good practice.
- As a courtesy, avoid tagging people, who are continuously NOT RESPONDING to your post – assume that they may not be interested in viewing your posts. Eg: if you tag me 3 posts and if I don’t respond (which is less likely), kindly avoid tagging me from your next post onward, thanks.
- As another courtesy, avoid tagging TraciC, as she is the chief, unless casualty emerges.
** Removing accidental @ signs in mobile posts or comments: Type 2 more XX (alphabets), after @sign & select '@XX' [all 3 characters] as a single text block [by continuously pressing on @XX]. Then delete the 'text block' by pressing a space-bar or Backspace.
** Give KUDOS Liberally so that you can get back, more Kudos.
