What The Hashtag: How To Use The Site As a Tool
What The Hashtag (wthashtag.com) is a wiki-based site that tracks Twitter hashtags (also known as trending topics.) Each trending topic is documented automatically or users can insert new hashtags and the wiki will document each.
The hashtag each have their own page that include a description, stats of when they trended the heaviest, and a twitter stream including all users that have used the hashtag.
So, what can you do with this site? The answer – plenty!
What The Hashtag can literally be used as a data tool for you to target more of your niche followers. You can find big dogs in your niche, as well as unique people who have great ideas to help expand success in your own niche. This is a tool that gets down in the midst of the conversation and lets you use it as a way to succeed. Simply do a search for certain tags and you might find things that you have been looking for, but have not had much success trying to gather the right day to market what you are trying to share or sell.
As mentioned, users can enter their own hashtags and if you use them regularly, and within reason (there are always people who overuse hashtags and exploit them), you can attract people into your niche that you need. You can even start your own trend and document it with What The Hashtag as well.
