The team at Venngage have looked at a sample of 137k tweets and over a 7 day period. What did they find out? Yea, hashtags are worthless.

The author Ryan McCready suggest stopping using hashtags and use Twitter only to start a conversation that leads to a real connection. This infographic highlights the results of their research.
