NBC The Voice twitter? - izz - 11-10-2012 01:26 AM
every time someone tweets and rights a comment or something the sometimes put # before whatever they write I just want to know why they do that what does it mean (i.e. #teamXtina, #top8, #voicetour...etc.)
what is with the # sign??

Those are called hashtags. In the Twitter world, its kind of a pointless thing we all do. It's like a word or phrase that describes your tweet.
For example,
Charlie Sheen always tweets: #winning
Or..
The Voice
#teamXtina, #top8 #voicetour ----> a way for fans to connect by clicking those!

if your on twitter your obviously wasting your time in the first place
but....
The hash mark (#) before a word in a post allows you to tag that post for that word. However, in order to get tracked via a hash tag, you need to opt-in and follow http://www.Hashtags.org.
If you then visit Hashtags.org, you can click on any tag and it will show you all of the posts that have been tagged with that keyword.
