Whats that # thingy???

So your on Twitter. You keep seeing these # thingies followed by some silly word or something. What the hell is that # thingy? Well Hashtags were first popularized during the San Diego forest fires in 2007 when Nate Ritter used the hashtag #sandiegofire to identify his updates related to the disaster. hashtags.org provides real-time tracking of Twitter hashtags. Opt-in by following @hashtags to have your hashtags tracked. Twemes offers real-time tracking without having to follow a specific Twitter account. Since their purchase of Summize, Twitter itself now offers some support of hashtags on their search engine: http://search.twitter.com. More services include TweetChat, TweetGrid, Twitterfall and http://wthashtag.com are also popular for following hashtags in real-time. You can also get some hashtag information on my website at thewhatchawearing.com . Now lets get of this serious crap and get back into the grove of how I like to roll. Go to my site and check out some of the hashtags i use. It is also very important to make sure that you have followed good sleep wake practices when using hashtags!!
