To hashtag or not to hashtag?

Examples of hashtagsCan you over use hashtags on twitter?

Is obsessive hashtagging a problem?

And what advice would you give in terms of appropriate use of hashtags?

Why do I ask?

Because Marian Schembari left the following comment on my A Twitteraholic’s Guide to tweets, hashtags, and all things Twitter post:

“Certain tweeters need to cut it out with the obsessive hashtagging. It dilutes the message and looks spammy.”

Now I feel I haven’t provided enough advice on hashtags so want to rectify it.

And why did I miss it?

Easy :)

How you use Twitter and what annoys you depends how many you follow.

A person who follows 1,000′s of people sees things differently from someone who follows 100′s.

So what advice should I be providing on using hashtags on twitter?
