WTHashtag.com - The Most Popular Hashtags On Twitter

What The Hashtag self-defines itself as an open encyclopedia that compiles the most popular hashtags found on Twitter. In case you are not familiar with the term, a hashtag is a way to add metadata to a tweet by prefixing words with hash symbols.

The main use of a hashtag is grouping content that is related and finding other individuals that have your same interests or talk about the same things that you tweet about. For example, if you are attending an event chances are there will be a hashtag for it, and you will be able to easily check out who else is attending and so forth.

Currently, about 750 hashtags are listed and the main page groups them together under different banners like “Most Popular”, “Recently Added” and “Recently Edited”. You can also see who the most active users are, and who are making the most significant contributions to the cause.

In final place, a set of tools for using WTH is provided and it includes a Firefox search bar and a GreaseMonkey script (also for Firefox) that make hashtags redirect straight to What The Hashtag webpages.
