Hashtag is a word or an unspaced phrase prefixed with the hash symbol (“#“). Hashtags make it possible to group such messages, since one can search for the hashtag and get the set of messages that contain it.

Hashtag is only connected to a specific medium and can therefore not be linked and connected to pictures or messages from different platforms. It is widely and commonly used on Twitter and can be used on Facebook, Instagram and Google plus.
