There was a study a couple years ago that showed people are less likely to click on tweets with hashtags in them. But I think most people agree that well-used ones are helpful. One, MAYBE two per tweet.

I'm by no means an expert, but I'd probably recommend a maximum of two hashtags in a tweet. I think the vague ones don't work as well as the more specific ones here. But Jeff is your guy for these kinds of things :)

In general, are there optimum numbers and kinds of hashtags? I imagine that there is research on this somewhere. (Agreed that hashtag soup causes cognitive load which may cause people to skip trying to understand what's being said.)
