What Are Hashtags ("#" Symbols)?

• The # symbol, called a hashtag, is used to mark keywords or topics in a Tweet. It was created organically by Twitter users as a way to categorize messages.

Why use hashtags to categorize Tweets by a keyword:• People use the hashtag symbol # before a relevant keyword or phrase (no spaces)

in their Tweet to categorize Tweets and help them show more easily in Twitter Search.

• Clicking on a hashtagged word in any message shows you all other Tweets marked with that keyword..

• #Hashtags can occur anywhere in the Tweet – at the beginning, middle, or end.

• Our #hashtags - #spirituality #lightagemasters #lightchannels #quote #god #2012shift #love #life

Page 18: RBL Twitter Getting started

What Are Hashtags ("#" Symbols)?

• Hashtagged words that become very popular are often Trending Topics.

• Example: In the Tweet below, @eddie included the hashtag #FF. Users created this as shorthand for "Follow Friday," a weekly tradition where users recommend people that others should follow on Twitter. You'll see this on Fridays.

• Using hashtags correctly: If you Tweet with a hashtag on a public account, anyone who does a search for that hashtag may find your Tweet

Page 19: RBL Twitter Getting started

What Are Hashtags ("#" Symbols)?

• Don't #spam #with #hashtags. Don't over-tag a single Tweet. (Best practices recommend using no more than 2 hashtags per Tweet.)

• Use hashtags only on Tweets relevant to the topic.

• Related Articles: The site hashtags.org offers an overview of popular hashtags used on Twitter.
