What is a Hashtag?

We can use hashtags in all the online social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, Youtube, and all other social networks. For making a hashtag for which we have to make a “#” symbol, which some people also called a pound symbol. Just after this symbol, we can add any word, phrase, short-form anything like this we can write. In hashtags, we can use a number as well as alphabets, but we cannot use a special character. So we can make any hashtag according to posts which we are posting for a social network.

How can we use the #hashtag? 

A hashtag is a very powerful tool to establish any brand. It is also useful for sharing your important views on social media effectively so that your important view reaches the maximum number of people. It also makes it easy in searching and sorting for a particular brand. If we are answering any question or commenting on a video on any social media website, using hashtags makes it easy to search for any answer, query, advice, comment post by any viewers without knowing your name, address any account detail. The hashtag was first used in 2007 and slowly-slowly it became popular on social media. For example, if we create any post on any social network with any name such as Microprocessor, so by searching #Microprocessor will make it easy to find all the related answers by searching the particular hashtag. This way is effective to know the bits of advice given by the viewers. Another example can be that a company launches a new car, and the company has many followers on social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, Youtube, and all other social networks). If a company launches any teaser or photo and created a hashtag related to the car, then many people will see it on different-different social media networks. These people will re-tweet and share with this popularity of the company is automatically increased. That is why the hashtag is very popular. Another example for better understanding a hashtag can be if we visit any live concert or performance organized by any group, singer, or dancer performance with their created hashtag. These concert organizers announced their hashtag to the audience. So that, whenever posts (uploads pictures or videos) related to this concert are made, you can use this particular hashtag which was announced by the concert organizer. All the audience that will post anything related to the concert like a photo, videos on any social network can easily be seen by the concert organizer with the help of a hashtag. Without knowing any name or address, and they can use it as feedback, gallery, or can be used for trending in social networks.
