    Hashtags, from Twitter. Really quite stupid.

  • 9 years ago

    The hash mark (#) before a word in a post allows you to tag that post for that word. However, in order to get tracked via a hash tag, you need to opt-in and follow http://twitter.com/hashtags. Once you’re following Hashtags, every time you make a post in Twitter and tag it with a hash mark like so: #iPhone, it will then show up as a real-time post on http://www.hashtags.org./

    If you then visit Hashtags.org, you can click on any tag and it will show you all of the posts that have been tagged with that keyword.

    I take it to mean it's used somewhat like bookmarks.
