Definition:
Hashtags are a way of tracking topics on Twitter. By using hashtags, you can help people who are looking for more information on your subject find your Tweets.
You add hashtags to your Tweets by using the number sign, #, and a word that defines the Tweet's topic. For example, #sweepstakes or #about. You can include more than one hashtag in your Tweet, if appropriate.
You can also search for Tweets with hashtags that interest you.
