The Two Debates Hashtags You Should Use to Help Bernie Tonight
Definition: The # symbol, called a hashtag, is used to mark keywords or topics in a Tweet. It was created organically by Twitter users as a way to categorize messages.
Using hashtags to categorize Tweets by keyword:
- People use the hashtag symbol # before a relevant keyword or phrase (no spaces) in their Tweet to categorize those Tweets and help them show more easily in Twitter Search.
- Clicking on a hashtagged word in any message shows you all other Tweets marked with that keyword.
- Hashtags can occur anywhere in the Tweet – at the beginning, middle, or end.
- Hashtagged words that become very popular are often Trending Topics.
Example: In the Tweet below, @eddie included the hashtag #FF. Users created this as shorthand for “Follow Friday,” a weekly tradition where users recommend people that others should follow on Twitter. You’ll see this on Fridays.

There’s also another way to help make even more impact. It’s called tag hi-jacking. In this case we are going to use an already popular hashtag #DemDebate and piggy back with the new hashtag.
#DemDebate Tweets
Here’s a sample Tweet:
Been waiting a long time for the #DemDebate – let’s help #DebateWithBernie trend tonight. (Remember you get 140 characters to work with)
