People who have hated seeing them in their newsfeeds, claiming the Twitter phenomenon had no place in Facebook land, will now have to suffer more of them. But actually, this is a good thing for your small nonprofit. Really. It can enhance your social communications. Well, first let''s look at what a hashtag is and does.

“Fair Use” in US copyright laws allows you to copy brief excerpts of copyrighted material for purposes such as criticism, news reporting, teaching, or research, without the need for permission from the copyright holder. But copying and pasting large sections of an article or blog post is called “scraping” content, and in most cases, is violating copyright laws.

Can I cut and paste any photo I see as long as I acknowledge the photographer or is sharing only approved for photos under Creative Commons license? I'd appreciate any feedback.

Beyond that, you may be infringing on copyright or trademark protections. Developing messaging that works is a sweaty, laborious process. So it's all the more frustrating when it turns out your message is exactly the same as used by an organization your target audiences are likely to know. If that's the situation, you're late to the party, and there's no way that your org's messaging will have the desired impact. When it's heard, your base is likely to think of the other org.
