Question about twitter clone

Hello. I’ve been seeing a few tutorials on twitter clones and I was thinking of trying one. With my idea, instead of following people, I would like it so users can follow hashtags. Is that even possible in Ruby on Rails?

Thanks in advance

Rick

Hey Rick,

Absolutely. If you can imagine it, you can build it. For following hashtags, you'd want to create a model for the Hashtag and then very similar to following users, you'd create a model to join the two records. I'd call it UserHashtag or something and just belongs_to :user and belongs_to :hashtag
