I think there is a confussion between #hashtags and @users. These are two different concepts!<br><br>A hashtag means that different users add the same tag, so it's indexable by the searchers.<br>In example, take a look at <a href="http://tweetchat.com/room/ppi" target="_blank">http://tweetchat.com/room/ppi</a><br>
Those are different users put the #ppi hashtag in their tweets.<br><br>So @ppinternational is a user, but #ppinternational is a hashtag. The second can be used by anyone. And, since twitter is limited to 140 characters, the hashtag should be as shorter as possible, i.e. #ppi.<br>
