Developing an explicit overview of taggery & linking for TW using examples 
is a very good idea!

The widespread use of hashtaggery in social media (Twitter, Instagram, 
Facebook, Linkedin, Telegram etc) emerged first on Twitter in 2007.

At first the experiments using hashtags were met with skepticism. Partly 
because the simple idea that any of your "content" text AS your "label" 
identifiers kinda broke some conventions in writing. But hashtags quickly 
caught on and are a very elegant, compact and are non-duplicating (of 
fields). Easy to maintain in simple editing. Can support as few or as many 
as needed. Can be totally part of text flow or just listed in content.

I like them. For many, many use cases they are perfectly good and easy and 
require no special fields creating or maintaining.

The one thing that is sometimes an issue is that using hashtags in content 
text won't always work well for the reader. What I mean is that hashtaggery 
is both a tagging system AND a recent "*writing convention*". For many 
academic texts, for instance, it won't work as it breaks their "writers 
style manuals".

Right. Its a good example of leveraging hashtags for TW using alongside 
other fields.

Just FYI the Twitter method of using hashtags makes them ...

   - case insensitive (both #Buddha & #buddha work the same)
   - drop irrelevant punctuation to enable full text context integration 
   (e.g. "At that time #Buddha's interest was in ..." is treated as #buddha)
