That could make adding real-time content to specific streams easier than before . Twitter user Chris Messina created in 2007 the hashtag as we know it today . Twitter eventually adopted the system of organizing tweets around a certain subject into its API and its broader ecosystem . Since then , the hashtag has been adopted by other services , including Flickr , Tumblr , Google+ and even Facebook-owned Instagram .
