How do hashtags work?
June 17, 2017 at 12:42 am
I'm always slow on the uptake with many things.

So, if I am on Facebook and I make a comment like "#Trump" does it get sent to Trump's site or something?

I am really confused about the entire hashtag thing and how it works.

When I hear the word "hashtag" I figure whatever is about to follow is not worth my time.

Works on fb, too.

If you hashtag something, anyone looking for that hashtag will find it.
Say I #Ihatemyneighbors

If someone looks for posts with that hashtag topic, they'll find all posts with that hashtag.

Same in Instagram. If you #beer, anyone looking for beer posts will find your post.

A thorpe is a village, so the eight village? Or the village of eight?
