Hashtags allow users to categorize messages on social media platforms. The # symbol was created organically by Twitter users and allows multiple messages to be grouped by a single topic. While the first user to create hashtags is unknown, their use has spread widely across platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest. Hashtags provide a way for users to connect and find others interested in similar topics on a global scale.

What is a hash tag, it¡¯s meaning and why should I be using it¡­? Definition: 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. Hashtags can be used anywhere in a tweet and it¡¯s a way for people to direct multiple Twitter messages to a single news event or topic. I find it funny how things just suddenly ¡°come about¡± and become well known..I want to know who the VERY FIRST PERSON is who decided to invent the ¡°hash tag¡±!!! I guess no one will ever know, I never knew what a hash tag was less than a year ago and now I¡¯m all about the hash tags¡­although I don¡¯t overdue it and go hash tag crazy¡­but I also don¡¯t use it on Twitter..where it originated.. I use it mostly on Instagram¡­and now facebook is in the works of getting on the hashtag train Facebook is working on incorporating the hashtag, one of Twitter¡¯s most iconic markers, into its service by using the symbol as a way to group conversations, said people familiar with the matter. It is unclear how far along Facebook¡¯s work on the hashtag is and the feature isn¡¯t likely to be introduced imminently, these people said¡­ Hastags are a great way for people to connect on a global scale and come together on a common interest.. On Twitter,you can click on the hashtag to see a real-time feed of other tweets using that keyword. Tweets using this hashtag will also be displayed in a real-time feed when someone searches for the term on Twitter. It is thought that 2 or 3 hash tags per tweet is sufficient and to not over due it. Like I stated earlier, they pop up on many social networks¡­ Instagram people use them as short term creative expression¡­because typing it all out is much too difficult¡­when clicked on instagram it will pull up all pictures with the same hashtag..similar to tweets. It can be used on Pinterest too, The main difference between a Pinterest hashtag and a hashtag on another social networking site is that clicking a Pinterest hashtag doesn¡¯t give you results that also have that hashtag. What it does is conduct a search for that word after the # symbol.
