16. 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
