Hashtag

What is a hashtag?

A hashtag is the # symbol followed by a word or phrase with no spaces, used on social platforms to file a post under a topic. It lets people browsing that topic find the post, and it lets a brand collect what others publish about it. Its power today is discovery inside a network, not reach on its own.
