What does hashtag mean?!?!!? - Chase - 03-24-2014 05:07 PM Everyone says it. I don't believe that they know so what does #whatever etc. mean - Michael Grewal - 03-24-2014 05:12 PM #icantbelieveyoudontknowwhat#means the world may never know... its just something made up to tell an idea and have people find them under that hashtagged word on twitter. It's a thing - dan - 03-24-2014 05:27 PM A tag embedded in a message, consisting of a word within the message prefixed with a hash sign - Georgia - 03-24-2014 05:34 PM its like you are adding tags/keywords to what you just said. for example when you publish a post on a website you can add tags or keywords so if you search #cheapcars only search results relating to cheapcars will come up. so its just like that. at least thats what i think, i could be wrong. :/ - Pink Freud - 03-24-2014 05:51 PM This is a hashtag # It is the pound sign on your keyboard. Some websites are set up to let their users use hashtags as a piece of indexing code that groups all messages that use a given hashtag on the same page. On Twitter for example you can use hashtags on any word, #House #Banking #Cats and you can go to the search pane on the toolbar at the top of the twitter page and type in #Cats for example and a page will open up that has all the latest tweets where people used the hashtag #Cats. Here I will copy and paste an example from a Twitter search for the hashtag #Cats.

A license key for a software application can be considered a hashtag, or a delineator between two different fields of text or data (as used in Twitter to delineate the beginning of the person's moniker/pseudonym).
