Twitter Adds Support for Hashtags While WoW Gains a Twitter Client

If you've been to Twitter recently, you may have noticed that hashtags are finally being hyperlinked by the service. Hashtags have been a community tool for tagging tweets for a while now, and many Twitter clients have supported their use for a while now.

This is a great navigational tool that will make it easy to follow the discussion and discover what people have to say on a subject. It goes hand-in-hand with the search feature.

In other news, World of Warcraft players can now install a TweetCraft, a World of Warcraft add-on that allows you to tweet while you play. Massively multiplayer online role-playing games have always been community based and continually look for ways to connect to the world at large. Other games, like Everquest 2, have allowed chatting across game servers and even outside of game servers. And Champions Online, an upcoming superhero-based MMO, will launch with in-game Twitter support.
