TWEET DECONSTRUCTION
1. Author 2. Message

@ T I N A C P O W E L L
1. Get found.
2. Help clarify subject.

5. Enhance engagement.
What is a hashtag?
A hashtag is identified by the # symbol, used within Twitter. They can be used anywhere within the 140 characters of a tweet and when the # symbol is placed in front of a word or phrase, it becomes a clickable term and if used widely enough they can actually become a popular trending concept.
REASONS TO USE HASHTAGS
17
@ T I N A C P O W E L L
HASHTAG = #COLLEGESAVINGS
This is what happens when you click the #collegesavings hasthag in the tweet. It delivers all of the results for tweets containing “#collegsavings”. They can be from anyone on Twitter, i.e. you don’t have to follow them or vice versa.
