Twitter introduced hashtags in Aug 2007 to club the tweets that contained information surrounding a particular keyword, very much like tags. Initially people hated them, mostly because they looked ugly and people weren’t sure about their usefulness. But, with enough time, hashtags became hit, not just on Twitter but on every other social networking site we know.
