Re: [Air-L] First occurrence of a Twitter hashtag
According to Hashtags.org (https://www.hashtags.org/user-agreement), "Chris Messina, a social technology expert, is credited to have come up with the very first hashtag on Twitter. He first posted the hashtag #barcamp in August 2007." The whole tweet appeared like this: ?how do you feel about using # (pound) for groups. As in #barcamp [msg]?? "Messina came up with the hashtag with the purpose of gathering discussions and online exchanges regarding Barcamp, a technology unconference gathering activity that spans worldwide. His handle is @MrMessina. Since then, hashtags have spread to other social media sites and all over the internet to become one of the most widely used functions." http://bit.ly/1bRvaUp https://www.hashtags.org/featured/hashtag-history-when-and-what-started-it/ More info at the link above.

I came across the tool Who Tweeted It First (http://ctrlq.org/first/), but it seems to cover only very recent Tweets, and I am interested in a hashtag that has been used for several years. Thank you!
