Heard of the word hashtag? Know what that is?

No… I’m pretty certain everyone reading this post knows what a hashtag is. Don’t need to go through that right?

But then again, do we all REALLY know the essence of the hashtag?

I mean yes, most of us add a few keywords to our tweets, Google Plus and Facebook posts (though, you are better off noton the latter) with the # symbol in front.
