* UPDATES*
29/6 update: I’ve removed “Twitter” from the heading as use of hashtags has extended beyond Twitter and can now be seen in Facebook
and G+, for example :)

Q: What is a hashtag?
A: It’s a word beginning with the #(hash) symbol. Only the Roman alphabet and numbers are allowed. No spaces or special characters are
permitted. It can be placed anywhere within a tweet. Cases are irrelevant, i.e. upper and lower cases are treated alike.
This is one of the reasons why I started this document. I’m hoping it will be used by all educators using hashtags so that duplication
can be avoided. Doing a general index is not within my scope at the moment.

However many of the hashtags listed are NOT commonly used hashtags (i.e. no one else is using it nor are they searching for it), so it is
misleading to list it here. Search http://tagwalk.com and you’ll see how often it’s been used in recent weeks plus suggestions of other hashtags to
consider.
Hashtags are most meaningful for people who are interested in similar topic to search for others with similar interests, but people generally
only search for the commonly used hashtags. (Now if you have an uncommon hashtag, you can make it common by widely publicizing and
encouraging its use, but that takes a lot of effort and often doesn’t get far.) It’s best to stick with the “popular” hashtags , especially for people new to
Social Media (& remove the “unused” or obsolete hashtags to avoid confusion). (More advanced users have better understanding of how to curate
very niche topics)
