I understand hashtags but why the pound sign when there are other signs? - unknown - 02-18-2014 05:07 AM
I completely understand what 'hashtag' is, I use Twitter, Tumblr, and Instagram every day.
I know how it started. I just want to know when the hashtag started, why wasn't it any other sign?
So why # and not %^&*#$@
Thanks!

NO, # is not called hashtag. It is called pound. Twitter effed up the system and now everyone calls it a hashtag. All those other symbols are used in coding. # is the only one thats not and so thats why they used it.
