Hashtags work on a wide range of platforms and double as search terms. It probably sticks in the mind of the average passerby better than website and gets people to your message about as well overall.

Yeah. They existed before Twitter too.

What platforms used it before Twitter?

Well, back then I wouldn’t call “blogs” a platform. But that’s what helped popularize tags.

Did blogs share tags? I can't recall, but I believe you. I do remember backlinks.

I don’t think so. At least not as a matter of course.

But they did help organize content, and helped search engines as metadata. At least before (?) SEO destroyed their utility.
