There is no need to refresh the homepage every hour when there is new content on the #bitnation-blog, so I’ll show you just where new posts will first show up, how the hashtag is applied across platforms, and how you can get a heads-up without extra work.
Where New Content Actually Appears First
Published Directly on the Site
Each new piece is released directly on our own site in easy-to-follow categories, including decentralized governance, technology, and other digital innovation-related topics.
Shared Across Social Platforms Shortly After
After it’s live, new articles are disseminated to our social channels with the same tag to let our followers know that new content has been created without having to go to the site first.
How the Hashtag Gets Used in Practice
Tagging New Posts as They Publish
We only add the latest #bitnation-blog tag to posts that are published new, and not to older, evergreen posts that could be located in the future through search engines rather than social feeds.
Readers Using It to Share Their Own Takes
Sometimes readers apply the same tag to their own comments or reactions to something we’ve written, giving the little organic conversation threads around some of our pieces.
What Kind of Content Gets This Treatment
Timely Pieces Tied to Current Events
One way to know that the post you’ve written is sure to get the latest #bitnation-blog tag is if it’s on a recent development in blockchain governance or a timely shift in technology, as in reality, timing does matter for these types of posts.
The Best Ways to Actually Stay Current
Following Our Social Accounts Directly
Our accounts and keeping an eye out for the latest #bitnation-blog tag is the easiest way to get new content as soon as it is released without having to go looking for it.
Subscribing for Email Updates Instead
If social media is the last thing you want to deal with, there is an alternative: Readers who prefer to avoid social media altogether can benefit in the same way by subscribing to email updates—either to a dedicated newsletter or to a social media notification email.
Why Timing Matters for Certain Topics
Blockchain and Governance Move Quickly
One way to know that the post you’ve written is sure to get the latest #bitnation-blog tag is if it’s on a recent development in blockchain governance or a timely shift in technology, as in reality, timing does matter for these types of posts.
Older Content Still Holds Real Value
However, don’t write off all older, non-tagged content because it is not useful, as there are some posts that are very useful for basic knowledge.
How This Compares to Browsing Category Pages
Hashtag Tracking Favors Recency
The latest #bitnation-blog tag particularly favors recency bias, by showing what is currently new and not necessarily comprehensive on a specific topic.
Category Browsing Favors Depth
The browse feature by topic category is more in-depth and allows you to delve into anything we’ve published on a subject over the years, without having to worry about when it was published.
Getting the Most Out of Following Our Updates
Engage, Don’t Just Passively Scroll
Using the new #bitnation-blog tag to comment and share your own opinions on the posts makes them not just a passive read but a richer experience, which is often what makes reading more rewarding.
How the Hashtag Fits Into Our Broader Social Strategy
Not Just a Label, but a Discovery Tool
In addition to labelling a post as new, the tag is also used as a discovery mechanism where a follower can easily narrow down his/her feed and find our newest posts among the many they follow.
Consistency Across Every Platform We Use
We tag everything in the same way on all platforms, so that the same signal is sent to all the users, even if they come from different platforms.
What Happens if You Miss a Tagged Post
Nothing Gets Permanently Lost
Everyone also has their own “home” on our site, by category, so if you miss a certain social post with the hashtag, it’s not lost; it’s just a little harder to find a different way.
Searching Back Through Older Updates
When you just search for the hashtag, the search query will usually bring up a list of previously tagged posts so that you can catch up without having to go through the entire site archive.
Why We Chose This Specific Tagging Approach
Balancing Simplicity With Usefulness
We saw no point in making it a complicated system with a bunch of overlapping hashtags that would only confuse more than help; hence the simplicity of the tagging system: one tag for new content.
Making It Easy for Readers to Adopt Too
A simple, single tag is also easier for readers to use when sharing their own reactions or when referring to a specific piece, as it is not too technical.
Final Thoughts
It’s actually a simple combo: follow our social channels to get those ‘on the ball’ updates, and click through the categories for some ‘evergreen’. Either approach – or a combination of the two – is preferable to neither, and you will never miss out on any new thinking or background. See more
