Facebook today announced that it is bringing hashtags to its service, letting users add context to a post, indicate that it is part of a larger discussion, as well as discover shared interests. The company says hashtags have become "a vital part of popular culture" and since it has seen users using them on the social network organically, it has decided to actually implement the feature.
