HashTools.org - Finding Relevant Links On Twitter

This online resource has a specific mission: taking hashtags further. As you know, hashtags are a common currency when it comes to tweeting since they can be used to contextualize any conversation. Keeping in mind how expansive Twitter is, that is a good service any way you think about it.

This site, then, collects the tweets that fall under a specific series of hashtags. These include “video”, “deals”, “question” and “poll”. Site visitors are welcome to submit their very own links by adding the relevant hashtag to the tweet and sending it out. And there is not a single hash per category. For example, you can add tweets to the category “deals” by using the hashtags “#deal”, “#offer” and “#coupon”.

The goal of the site is a clear one: creating distinct channels to filter out the Twitter noise and let anybody come across the rich media found in Twitter links in a more immediate manner. If that sounds promising, I encourage you to pay the site a visit, see it all through your very eyes and form your own judgement.

“A suite of Twitter applications that aim to take hashtags further. The applications - #deals, #video, #question and #poll – use hashtags to aggregate tweets into different groups, making them more useful and easier to understand.

Hashtags are used on Twitter to group and organise Tweets into different topics. Just add a # before a word in your tweet, and you create a hashtag that’s used to categorise your tweet."

It stands as an apt way to come across the most relevant Twitter content at any given time.

Will more hashtags be eventually featured? If not, why not?
