Twitter Number Signs

Twitter Number Signs Anyone who has had a conversation about Twitter may have seen or heard illustrations like this: #revolution #mondays #tablets What does that # mean?   Well the #, or pound sign, symbol in the Twitter world is known as a hashtag.   Putting this hashtag in front of a consecutive string of letters allows you to use that word or phrase as a category in a Twitter search.   So you can do a search for #tablets on Twitter and every person who has tweeted and referenced #tablets in their tweet will show up in the search results. You can also save that search within Twitter so that if it is a topic you want to follow, you can reach it easier. This comes in handy when searching for news on particular topics, jobs or following along with a live event. What are some of your favorite hashtags to follow? P.S. My two favorites are #entrepreneur and #technology.
