When we talk about popular platforms with hundreds of millions of users (and sometimes billions), it inevitably brings to mind a large heap of diverse information, in which it’s not so easy to find the necessary data. To simplify this task, smart people came up with hashtags for social networks.

These are key words or phrases that allow content creators (in the broadest sense, from ordinary posts to beautiful videos) to make it easier for potential consumers to find that content. That’s how it was intended, and that’s how it works. Moreover, today hashtags in social networks are actively used for advertising, art presentations, and creating certain trends.

In this review, we’ve gathered information about the most popular platforms and are ready to tell you how hashtags work in social networks.
