Hashtags

Many social media posts include hashtags, but what are they are why are they used?
According to Wikipedia "a hashtag is a word or an unspaced phrase prefixed with the hash character (or number sign), # to form a label.  It is a type of metadat tag.  Words or phrases in messages on microblogging and social networking services such as Facebook, Google+, Instagram, Twitter or VK may be tagged by entering # before them either as they appear in a sentence, e.g. "New artists announced for #SXSW2014 Music Festival" or appended to it.  The term hashtag can also refer to the hash symbol itself when used in the context of a hashtag.
A hashtag allows grouping of similarly tagged messages, and also allows an electronic search to return all messages that contain it."
