Using hashtags on tweets – How much is too much ?

Lately, there have been an increased number of usage of hashtags on Tweets. I do not have any number/statistics to support this, but we’ve all seen it, haven’t we ? Tweets with lot of hashtags, sometimes even inappropriate and irrelevant placed just to add more re-tweet value by bots. As more and more bots/apps use content syndication from hashtags, the more hashtags you use, the more the probablity for your tweet to get retweeted/syndicated.

But does this reduce the overall quality of the tweet ? Does it look messy ?

  1. Depending on the nature of the article… I believe 1 is Good, 2 is ok and 3+ is spam :)

  2. I believe it depends on the context. There is no fixed number in my mind as Harsh says. But too mnay can not only look spammy but also cause people to unsubscribe.

    1. I have un followed at least a dozen people who excessively used hash tags.
    2. Most people do not know what has tags are and they think the person who tweets is spamming with too many links.
