It's just an easy way to associate your tweets with a specific conversation. People usually use them during events. I wrote more about them <a href="http://www.magicomm.biz/blog/printer-tweet-8-hash-tags" rel="nofollow">here</a>. The "Trending Topics" on the left of your Twitter page are just the most popular words showing up within a certain time period. They usually reflect something happening in pop culture but every once and awhile something silly slips through like <a href="http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23whentwitterwasdown" rel="nofollow">#whentwitterwasdown</a>. Anyone can create their own hashtag to start an organized conversation. It usually helps to get some other people on it first so others want to join in. The #subjects are hastags.

You know those popular subjects that come up on the side. How are the popular subjects decided? and is it possible to start a subject for everyone to give feedback on, or is this controlled by Twitter?

Jon, someone tweeted to me that the . before the @ breaks up a conversation so it can't be followed. Not quite sure what that means, but I'm going to have him post his comment on my post for clarification. I don't want to give anyone bad advice. Nice!

Are you going to write one about RTs? Some people RT with their comment before it, some put it after the tweet, some don't separate the RT from their comment, some use | or some use >>. I guess it is up to your own preference though. Thanks! Are you going to write one about RTs?
