Hashtag

Hashtags are an Internet phenomenon that was popularized on Twitter, a micro blogging service. People add a #word or #PhraseWithoutSpaces to a tweet and precede it with a hashtag, also known as a number or pound sign. Doing so allows others to locate tweets with a particular hashtag, such as #KillYourself.
