Hash tags are not memes, a lot of people tend to see them that way especially because it has risen to much prominence
due to social media usage: “hashtag this, hashtag that…” in fact some
folks think the hashtag is part of English punctuation marks.
Hash tags are neither punctuation marks nor memes, so what really are they?
The hashtag is actually a communication
tool, let’s no go into history ‘cause this cool ‘#’ that everyone’s
jumping up and down for was invented and used by allied forces during WW
II-yep, hash tag is a wartime invention!
But let’s talk about today’s hashtags-social media ones. It is still a
simple tool for shaping and organizing conversations or discourses
online. Twitter and the Palmchat messaging app have perfected the use of this tool in three key areas:
Shaping conversations
A Twitter or Palmchat user almost instantly knows the meat of the discussion by looking at the hashtag e.g: #BringbackourGirls, #AprilFools, #shockingthingswesee. A good hashtag is not deceptive or ambiguous; it is clear and easy to understand.
Organizing threads
Hashtag are particularly useful in organizing because in this age of ‘plenty talk’, everyone seems to either be supporting or refuting some opinion or discourse. So, to find the right camp you belong in the discourse, the hashtag acts as a lighthouse, guiding you into the right sea of words.

Viral posts
Hashtags
also have this incredible superpower which turns a regular guy or lady
into a global sensation in just one careless or lucky social media post.
Call it the viral syndrome, it is happening and new stars are being
born each day through the power of a viral hashtag!
Creating hashtags is particularly good in Palmchat
The Palmchat social messaging app like Twitter gives users the power to create their own hashtags but unlike the Twitter, these hashtags can also be used to post voice messages on the platform too. The Palmchat app’s unique ecosystem which brings together the micro blogging feature of Twitter and the OTTC (over the top content) features of BBM, Whatsapp and Tinder has garnered over 100 million active user base in just a few years. More Nigerians are also embracing the app because of its news handle which updates users to the latest news in sports, politics and economics with breaking news notification as it happens.
