is the hashish that categorizes stuff in the trending category. Right now trending number 2 worldwide on twitter is #IUsedTo . Somebody put "#IUsedTo put so much effort into the relationships i formed then I realized some ppl aren't worth it..." so anyone who searches for #IUsedTo on twitter can see all the posts on twitter (including that one) with the I Used To hashtag.

Using @ then a username directs someone to their account. So I'll use mine, if you tweeted @Instanthockey and someone clicked it, it would go to my profile.
