Rules to #Hashtags and What They're Used For

What is the Hashtag

The Hashtag marks either keywords, topics, or both. Hashtags are used to start conversations and keep
them going. If you want to start a conversation, pick a Hashtag and start using it. If you want to join a conversation, find the Hashtag being used, then start using the Hashtag.

How to Use the Hashtag

If you want to make a Hashtag that is more then one word, use the camel case, or CamelCase. Using the camel case is simple, all you do is take out spaces and replace them with capitalized letters. For instance, #camel case would show has #camel on twitter for the Hashtagm, because you used a space. Hashtag #camelcase looks like one word, so to get rid of confusion we do this, #CamelCase. 

When your trying to get your tweets noticed, pick one Hashtag to use. That way when people are looking for your tweets they can find all of them in one spot. Also by having one common Hashtag you keep everything bunched together, as opposed to using a ton of different Hashtags and spreading yourself across the whole internet. If you use multiple Hashtags to advertise, you'll need a lot more people to make it go viral.

The Unwritten Law for the Hashtag

One of the biggest laws for Hashtags is, never spam. Don't use anymore then three Hashtags at the very most. Try to keep it down to two, or less. Don't what digbeu seka gbagbo did. No one is going to like you anymore for it. If anything you might lose followers and get marked as spam.
The other thing you shouldn't do with Hashtags is just throw a trending Hashtag in your tweet for the
fun of it. If your going to use a trending Hashtag, at least make a tweet the relates to it. Once again, no one is going to like you anymore for it. If anything you might lose followers and get marked as spam.
