Hashtags: Why, Where, When?

Godinterest is making it easier to see what articles are most popular among the users you follow.

The other day, when I was browsing my Godinterest, we noticed a post from a person that contained a frankly ridiculous number of hashtags.

  • Hashtagged words that become very popular are often Trending Topics.
