Definition
A Hashtag is a word or phrase preceded by the # symbol (e.g., #TwitterTips) that categorizes Tweets and helps them show up in Twitter/X search. Clicking on a hashtagged word in any message shows you all other Tweets with that hashtag. Hashtags can be used for organizing conversations around specific topics, events, or campaigns. They help increase discoverability of your content and allow you to participate in trending conversations.
