What is a Twitter #Hashtag?
"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"
Clicking on a hashtagged word in any message shows you all other Tweets in that category. Hashtags can occur anywhere in the Tweet. If you tweet with a hashtag on a public account, anyone who does a search for that hashtag may find your Tweet. Use hashtags only on Tweets relevant to the topic.
