Its when you put the hash mark in front of someone's name and tag them in something. I.E. the number sign (#). So it for example be like this #JohnSmith. And the name will usually appear blue.

"A tag embedded in a message posted on the Twitter microblogging service, consisting of a word within the message prefixed with a hash sign."


PS: This is in the wrong section

People who hashtag use these: # to tag things they've done, places they've gone, and items as well. They do it on Twitter, Instagram, and such to make their posts more visible and easier to find for the rest of the community.

Those things that are a # followed by words without spaces. They're predominantly used on Twitter.
