Hashtag

For one group of people, hashtags might mean finding content to read and explore, while for the other group it could mean that it’s time to come up with new and trending content ideas. Hashtags originated from Twitter originally, but quickly spread over to all of the modern social media website. I don’t blame them, it’s a great way to find content and also to tag something so it is easier to find it.

In case you need a reminder on what a hashtag is:

If you have been on Twitter, you may have seen a “hashtag.” To put it simply, a hash tag is simply a way for people to search for tweets that have a common topic and to begin a conversation. For example, if you search on #LOST (or #Lost or #lost, because it’s not case-sensitive), you’ll get a list of tweets related to the TV show. What you won’t get are tweets that say “I lost my wallet yesterday” because “lost” isn’t preceded by the hash tag.
