[Yahoo 10]

I really dont get twitter, so i was wondering how this tweet was posted.. it said.. tim tebow just keeps on winning why cant everyone see that #thisguyisawinner .... how did they make #thisguyisawinner" a link??
It automatically categorized it in the facebook category, because as u can tell, there is no twitter category

Well first off, this question shouldnt be in the facebook category.
To answer the question, when you use the # sign, its called a hashtag. A hashtag is Simply a way for people to Search for keywords that have been a common topic in twitter conversations.
