Hashtags

Twitter Search: Hashtags

#Hashtags: -  “Hashtags are a community-driven convention

for adding additional context and metadata to your tweets.”

-  “They're like tags on Flickr, only added inline to your post. You create a hashtag simply by prefixing a word with a hash symbol: #hashtag.”

-  Acts like a reference label -  e.g. #health20 for the Health 2.0 Conference
