Hashtags are a part of life on Twitter and Instagram and now it appears that Facebook will be rolling out hashtags as well, which has sparked an online debate.

On Facebook, hashtags would link themes and topics as well.
The main knock against hashtags is that they can be confusing and annoying to new users. One study states if you use hashtags, the number of followers decreases.
