Ten years ago, Chris Messina used a symbol that changed social media. Almost created by accident, nowadays #hashtag is one of the symbols that digital agencies can’t live without using it.

On this day but in 2007, Chris Messina tweeted #barcamp, the very first time a hashtag was used. Today, the average of shared hashtags every day is 125 million only on Twitter.
