Why do you use hashtags on Twitter?
Table of Contents
People use the hashtag symbol (#) before a relevant keyword or phrase in their Tweet to categorize those Tweets and help them show more easily in Twitter search. Hashtags can be included anywhere in a Tweet. Hashtagged words that become very popular are often trending topics.
So far, Twitter has no direct way to let the users follow their favorite hashtags. Twitter currently shows you only the trending hashtags on your feed. These trending hashtags can be customized as per your location or any country that you wish to get trending hashtags of.
How do you follow a hashtag on Twitter?
