A Guide to Twitter Hashtags

ByMuskaan Listings

If you are new to hashtags, a hashtag is a symbol (#) on your computer. When you write something after a hashtag, it gets converted into a link. Supposing this link is clicked on Twitter, one can get information about all the tweets that are available on this topic by all people who tweeted something about that hashtag even though you may not be following them.

Hashtags are a way of grouping and categorizing the topics so that people know what your tweets are about and they can follow you. Anyone searching for a tweet on a particular topic can find it through search if hashtags are given, rather than scrolling through their feed. Twitter hashtags are an essential part of your activity on Twitter, especially if you want to make your posts searchable.
