Using the hashtag to Tweet? Don’t miss our ULTIMATE GUIDE TO SOCIAL MEDIA! We also run social media workshops in Brighton for budding social media marketers.
It’s really annoying that many Apple keyboards don’t have a hashtag, especially when you tweet a lot! If like me you are tired of Googling it every time you need to find it, or cutting and pasting an existing hash tag, I suggest sticking a post-it note on your Mac or printing our handy graphic.

© = Alt + G
• = Alt + 8

You might also want to suggest Keyboard Viewer. Run this little utility and you can see the effect of the modifier keys (shift, ctrl, alt, cmd) in real time. It’s so handy that I have it available from the input menu (country flag menu), see International in System Preferences.
Oh, to be pedantic, the hashtag is the word that comes with the # _character_.
