Common Twitter Uses and Hashtags
I would like to add a section called common twitter uses under the Use and Social Impact section of this page. The following is what I would like to include.

Aside from using Twitter to communicate with friends and meet people, Twitter can be used for a great deal of other things. The scope of it's use is limited practically by your own imagination. A list of some of the most common uses of Twitter include.


 * Getting advice and feedback
 * Promoting a business
 * Content sharing and discovery
 * Entertainment
 * Source of breaking news
 * Deal notifications
 * Taking notes
 * Marketing research
 * Finding help
 * Finding jobs

I would also like to add a section called Hashtags in the Features section of the Twitter page. The Following is what I would like to include.

Hashtags are one of the most complex features on Twitter for users to understand. A hashtag is basically words or phrases with a hash symbol (#) at the start of the word to identify what it is. Hashtags help spread information throughout Twitter. They are a favorite tool amongst Twitter users. When a Twitter user adds a hashtag to their topic in a tweet, it makes it easier to find that certain topic in a search. The more people that Hashtag a particular topic the more likely that topic with appear in Twitter's Trending Topics. Making use of Hashtags on Twitter is an easy way to track breaking news and current events going on around the world.

Luke L. and Tim W. are proposing these changes for a college class project that we are required to do.
