#hashtags
Hashtags are a community-driven convention for adding additional context and metadata to your tweets. You create a hashtag simply by prefixing a word with a hash symbol: #hashtag.
Hashtags were developed as a means to create “groupings” on Twitter, without having to change the basic service.
How To Use Hashtags
First, follow @hashtags on Twitter. They will follow you back automatically, and your hashtags will be tracked.
Next, start using hashtags in your tweets, preceding key words. It can be helpful to do a little research first, to find out if the subject you’re tweeting already has an established hashtag.
Finally, track other tweets on the subjects you’re interested in (ie: those containing the appropriate hashtags) by browsing/searching at Hashtags.org or TwitterGroups.
Hashtags.org was designed to accommodate the real-time microblogging community. Analytic reports and indexing features to allow users to track what’s happening now.
