If we look at the digital world ten years ago, the use of hash (#) symbol was used to know the balance by pressing *123 # only. Today the same hashtag has become so common on social media that no one forgets to put it on their post or photo. But most of us will not be aware of why this hashtag is applied and what does this mean? So let's know what this hashtag. 

Actually a hashtag, a meta tag that specifies or denotes any content. By applying hashtags, the content of different categories can be easily searchable from its hashtags. The hash symbol is also known as the Pound sign. This is called pound sign because it is taken from the unit of symbol weight. Which means Libra Pound.It was used in 1988 on the Internet Relay Chat platform. 

A blogger named Stowe Boyd named it 'Hashtag' for the first time in one of his blogs. After which it started to be searched on Google. Two years after the term hashtag, Twitter started officially using the word. In July 2009, Twitter has formally adopted hashtags for the first time. After which the hashtag in front of any word was hyperlinked and the other post linked to it could be easily seen. 

Usually, the hashtag is used to keep its opinion as a common tag on a particular issue. Also, many organizations and companies use it to launch their products and services. In this digital world, there are no guidelines or rules made about the hashtag at present, due to this, t is sometimes used incorrectly. Any celebrity statement or anything related to it is trolled on social media with a certain hashtag, so that its image is bad.

A similar case was made with the junk food maker McDonald. The company started a hashtag named #McDstories, so that more and more people would share memories or memories associated with McDonald, but later it turned into negative campaign at that time. When more than 1500 people started using the #McDstories hashtag about the bad service of the company and the poor behavior of the employee.
