Fantastic effort @JunWLim and team! Doing @GrampianOrtho proud and a very interesting article to read! #orthotwitter

[Rhea Liang @LiangRhea]

Fascinating study of hashtags like #ILookLikeASurgeon #OperateWithRespect.

'The cyclical nature of hashtag activity suggests that hashtags remain popular after their ‘trending’ period and this significantly increases the potential outreach of the tweets.'
