Why do people hash tag things on Twitter?

I don't get it. Is there really a point to it?

So that people who search what has a hashtag can see their post.

Basically, it's to get attention.


Sometimes, it can be funny, though.

The hashtag is pretty much the ending to your topic. For example; I had a great say. #Successful or #WhatINeed is what I have. It just pretty much tells how you feel about that tweet or who your talking about. Like you could say Why do people hash tag things on Twitter. #Confused !
