Topics or topics currently being discussed on social media always use tags or hash marks (#). For active social media users such as Twitter, Tagars may be used.
On the Twitter platform, users can easily search for trend topics by searching for keywords starting with the "#" symbol. Twitter users can even see the number of accounts talking about the subject.
On the other hand, Twitter users sometimes accidentally create content, then enter the "# #" symbol with keywords on specific topics currently popular. Still, the content is not at all related to the topic.
Likewise, on Instagram platforms, tagars are also widely used by users so that their content can be involved in trending topics. Tagars seem to be a unit with trending topics, and at present, there are no popular topics that do not use tagars.
However, why are the topic trends identical to tags and not other symbols? To find out, you might need to see the hashtag history first.
Long before the plural tags are used on social media, the symbol "#" has long been used in C programming languages to mark a series of specific codes so that they can be processed first.
Then, marking the command using the symbol "#" was finally adopted on the online chat forum platform Internet Relay Chat (IRC) in 1988. However, the "#" symbol on the IRC is not used to mark the code but instead marks. Chat forum name.
That way, tagar tags have a function to mark certain text. From the use of "#" symbols on IRC, to be adopted on the Twitter social media platform for the first time.
The person who contributed to carrying tags on Twitter is an IRC user named Chris Messina. Men from the United States brought the idea of using Tagar from IRC to Twitter on August 23, 2007.
Messina, at that time, found that the tagging tags to mark text can also be applied on Twitter. According to him, the Tagar placed at the end of the article will make the article enter a topic of the flow and can be found easily by the user.
