How #FollowFriday and Hashtags Work
Since a lot of people are asking me about hashtags, and a Tweet isn’t enough space to explain, a few quick lines on how hashtags and #followfriday work:
1. Hashtags are used to identify a topic on Twitter. Add # to the front of a word to make it a topic.
2. #followfriday is a game in which people suggest who to follow on Twitter. It helps everyone find interesting Tweeps. You list the users you recommend following and add “#followfriday” so people can find your tweet.
3. You can find everyone’s #followfriday suggestions here: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23followfriday
Hope that helps.
