Well, @ is already used to indicate usernames...

Really though, someone just suggested "hey, why not use #" and then it just stuck. Maybe because # is next to @ on some keyboards.

Well remember, hashtags are based on an unofficial method that was developed by the users, not Twitter. People wanted a way to search for something without having every word and just 'tag' something. So it was choose out of convince.

I know that in coding there "hashing" and so with tagging stuff, it looks like the word "hashtag" was created and then became an overly-abused word and annoyance.

And here's a history lesson on the origin of the hashtag!

Makes sense though.


The world could always use more heroes!

It's solely based on the fact that they use # as the symbol. Nothing about hash tables, etc. (nor maryjane and the scooby gang either)

The optimal part is 'tag'. It's tagging shit to be found.
