95. Oh ya. # prefixes a subject. @ prefixes a twitter name. Say a big event

Fri Mar 10, 2017, 12:30 AM

Mar 2017

is happening #marchmadness. If you want to know what EVERYONE is saying about march madness, you search by #marchmadness and all the posts about the subject will appear if people put #marchmadness in their tweet.

it's kind of a way to unite subject across all people.

the thing is, it's hard to know what everyone is naming that subject precisely. You could search for say #march and see what the options are to find basketball. If it's a huge event that everyone is talking about - you can look to the left - which is the trend of the biggest topics of the moment. To get everyone to use the exact same hashtag is very difficult - there may be many slightly different spelling

two of the most effective #Imwithher and #makeamericagreatagain (gag)
