What’s with the Twitter #Hashtags?

I can be on FB straight 24 hours but not on Twitter. I just don’t get it and enjoy it. Unless someone mentions my Twitter name @mitchteryosa, or when I join online contests that require Twitter tasks, that’s the only time I log in to Twitter.

I also get disturbed seeing so many #hashtags at someone’s tweets. This is why I do not frequent Twitter much. But just to stop bothering myself why #hashtags are always seen on tweets, I did my homework. So what’s with the Twitter #hashtags?

Definition: The # symbol, called a hashtag, is used to mark keywords or topics in a Tweet. It was created organically by Twitter users as a way to categorize messages.
Hashtags: Helping you find interesting Tweets

People use the hashtag symbol # before relevant keywords in their Tweet to categorize those Tweets to show more easily in Twitter Search
Clicking on a hashtagged word in any message shows you all other Tweets in that category
Hashtags can occur anywhere in the Tweet
Hashtagged words that become very popular are often Trending Topics

I am a full-time home-based Marketing Manager by day, 24/7 Mom, and a Blogger/Content Creator in my spare time. Proud mom to 2 girls and 1 boy, Derelle, Erchelle, and Elric.

I am happy to share my adventures as I walk through motherhood and have to do most things on my own while my husband works miles away from us. Turning my passion into a profitable venture is another thing.

Authoring and managing this personal blog developed my social media awareness over the years.

From being an ex-OFW to doing what I am good at in the comfort of my own home – while taking good care of my 3 wonderful kids, I hope that people see me as a great inspiration when it comes to pursuing my passion and turning it into a profitable venture.

A giant leap like this is such a challenging journey but indeed is rewarding. A few bumps along this whole journey did not stop me from being the best version of myself.
