True, but there is so much more to hashtags! For example, if you're having a conversation with another person about #programming, you mark each tweet with that hashtag so that other people interested in #programming can jump in. You can also use hashtags to read your conversation over later on.
I've seen them used for virtual parties (#babyshower), for tweets during television events (#obama), and to discuss big conventions (#sxsw).
Hashtags are a great way to keep track of your conversations, especially if you talk to a lot of people on Twitter.
Good point Elizabeth. I also search hashtags when I am conducting marketing research and want to find all of the posts with that hashtag through Twitag. This is a great way for businesses or individuals to follow trends that may be relevant to them.
Thanks for the explanation on hashtags. I found them useful for People to find me also, #mortgage, #CRE etc. It is amazing on many People we can be in contact with.
My how Twitter has grown since this article premiered. A day does not go by without seeing the Twitter Logo and hearing it mentioned on TV. The symbols can be tricky to get correct.
