Pretty soon it becomes impossible to catch messages directed your way in real-time. Ultimately you have to resort to backtracking or using a search tool like TweetScan (R.I.P Terraminds!). Increasingly members of the Twitter community are demanding better ways to filter and group all of this information. One of the new solutions has been Twitter Hashtags and channels.What are Hashtags?Hashtags are a way to group twitter messages together according to subject matter, similar to the concept of Twitter groups or tagging. You follow @hashtags and then use the pound (#) symbol to tag the tweet, for example: #SXSW. Here are the best blog posts about the history of twitter hashtags and channels: Bublicious’ Tools for Monitoring Conversations in Twitter FactoryJoe’s Groups for Twitter; or A Proposal for Twitter Tag Channels Factory Joe’s Making the most out of hashtags Twitter Fan Wiki on Hashtags Important Hashtag Links & Information http://hashtags.org is the official website Hashtags is an opt-in service. You must follow @hashtags for the service to index your tweets. Here is the Hashtag index that lists ALL TAGS To see all tweets for a hashtag simply add the hashtag name at the end of this URL: http://hashtags.org/tag/ (i.e. http://hashtags.org/tag/Yankees) Hashtag CheatSheet follow #tag: subscribe to all updates tagged with #tag follow username#tag: subscribe to all updates tagged with #tag from a specific user leave #tag: unsubscribe to a tag; you will still get updates with this tag from your friends leave username#tag: unsubscribe to a specific from a specific user remove #tag: completely remove all incoming posts tagged with #tag, even from your friends #tag message: creates a status in the #tag channel #tag !message: creates a status that is only visible to people subscribed to channel tag #tag Twitter Tagging I’ve always thought it would incredibly useful if we could tag our friends on twitter just as we tag blog posts or bookmarks so we could filter what we see at any given moment. For example, I would tag some friends with Social Media, Utterz or Baseball. We could then filter all tweets according to these tags for any given moment. It would also be useful if we could tag each of our tweets so that they could be indexed, searched and filtered just like our group tags. It would be invisible so it wouldn’t appear as ugly as Twitter hashtags with its # symbols spewed all over the place. Twitter Groups While hashtags and channels look and smell like twitter groups, they are not the same thing. They are like distant second cousins. I still wish there was a way to create true groups for twitter that we can manage as well as public groups that we can join. Obviously, it would be done thru the use of tagging. In the mean time, here’s an early attempt at Groups for Twitter. I say close but no cigar at this point. Excellent thread on twitter groups TW_Groups Service Follow @TW_Groups Cool Twitter Search Engines These excellent search engines for Twitter work very well with hashtags and channels in addition to basic searches. www.tweetscan.com http://twemes.com Final Thoughts: I believe there will many new ways to filter and search our Twitter stream of data. Some of these are already being accepted by twitter members. Look for group tagging to make its way down the pyke soon!

We do appreciate it! Just to let you know, Twemes does capture hashtags with "+" or "-" or "_". So, you could use #brian+solis or #brian-solis or #brian_solis. If you have any other thoughts on ways to improve hashtag usage, we'd love to hear it! Thanks again, Rochelle Brian,
