Twitter tip - Adding hashtag (#) to Tweet This!

I just spent sometime trying to find solutions to add the "Tweet This" button to a website/blog post. So, here is how to do it!

The syntax is basically:
  • http://twitter.com/home?status=custom+tweet
So, to tweet this article, the syntax would be:
  • http://twitter.com/home?status=Twitter+tip+-+Adding+hashtag+(%23)+to+Tweet+This!+http://bit.ly/1x4RDe+%23Twitter
Replace space with "+"and the hash sign(#) with "%23"!

Helpful? TweetThis!

Really nice. Using the # (hash) I got always problem.

You could also use the "hashtags" querystring parameter if you're having troubles...
