WHEN SHOULD I USE A HASHTAG?
You should use a hashtag when you are trying to talk about a specific topic. You can use one that's already created or completely make up your own and get a new topic started. Once you begin using hashtags, get creative and use keywords that others will search for. Doing so will enable others to find your contribution to the global conversation without having to know or follow you.
