NBA fans took note when Apple used #TakeNote on Twitter to promote its new iPad lineup . . . afterall, it is the official hashtag of the Utah Jazz. While hashtags aren't exactly the property of a company or entity, they can be used for advertising campaigns.

However, Twitter has what's called Hash flags, which are little animated icons that appear after a sponsored hashtag. Every NBA team uses sponsored hashtags to promote social media content, and the Utah Jazz promotes #TakeNote. So when Apple took to Twitter to promote their upcoming iPad announcements using #TakeNote, the hashtag started to trend under sports and basketball on social media platform for a few hours.

An original tweet by Utah Jazz saying, “Well, this is awkward,” has since been deleted.
