What's with all the HASH?

Until recently, HASH was a food, made from Corned Beef. Or another food
made from potatoes (hash browns). Or it was an illegal drug made from
cannibis (Pot).

Lately I keep hearing about HASH TAGS. While I still dont understand
what the heck they are or do, google revealed they are something from
Twitter. (I dont use Twitter).

Now i was looking at something on ebay and wanted to copy the URL of a
page, and saw the word HASH in it.

In terms of the internet, what does HASH mean?

Hash tag = #tag .

Jonas,

Lately I keep hearing about HASH TAGS

Those get their name from the symbol/character preceeding the actual
name/tag, the "#".
(though that symbol has several other names, like the "number" symbol, or in
music terms "sharp")

Now i was looking at something on ebay and wanted to copy the
URL of a page, and saw the word HASH in it.

There it comes from another use, "to hash". In computer terms it means to
derrive a value from all the bits/bytes in a sequence of them to (semi)
uniquely identify that sequence of bytes (also see checksum or CRC)

Regards,
Rudy Wieser

It means someone is saying something silly
HASH = #

So if you see anything at all like this (as a completely
random and not politically biased) example:

#trump

Expect something reeely stupid ...
[]'s

PS In the (g)olden days, hash was really good pot. Resin
quality. Not anymore.
