1. A computer-implemented method for geotagging hashtags, the method comprising:
- determining, with one or more computing devices, geographic location information related to a hashtag;
assigning, with the one or more computing devices, a plurality of geolocations to the hashtag based on the determined geographic location information;
storing, with the one or more computing devices, the plurality of geolocations in a vector associated with the hashtag;
determining, with the one or more computing devices, a centroid of the plurality of geolocations;
assigning, with the one or more computing devices, the determined centroid as a primary geolocation associated with the hashtagstoring, with the one or more computing devices, the assigned primary geolocation in association with the hashtag in a data store; and
providing, with the one or more computing devices, the hashtag for display to a user in response to a geographic user query based on the assigned primary geolocation stored in the data store.

Abstract
A system and method for geotagging hashtags. Geographic location information related to a hashtag is determined, and a geolocation is assigned to the hashtag based on the determined geographic location information. The assigned geolocation is stored in association with the hashtag in a data store. The hashtag may be provided for display on a map based on the assigned geolocation stored in the data store.

8. A computer-implemented method for geotagging hashtags, the method comprising:
-
determining, with one or more computing devices, geographic location information related to a hashtag, wherein the geographic location information for the hashtag is determined from a plurality of electronic messages containing the hashtag; ranking, with the one or more computing devices, the geographic location information acquired from each of the plurality of electronic messages assigning, with the one or more computing devices, a geolocation to the hashtag based on the rankings of the determined geographic location information; storing, with the one or more computing devices, the assigned geolocation in association with the hashtag in a data store; and providing, with the one or more computing devices, the hashtag for display to a user in response to a geographic user query based on the assigned geolocation stored in the data store. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A computer-implemented method for geotagging hashtags, the method comprising:
-
determining, with one or more computing devices, geographic location information related to a hashtag, wherein the geographic location information for the hashtag is determined from a plurality of electronic messages containing the hashtag; assigning a permanent geolocation to the hashtag once a variance amongst the determined geographic location information from the plurality of electronic messages falls below a threshold storing, with the one or more computing devices, the assigned permanent geolocation in association with the hashtag in a data store; and providing, with the one or more computing devices, the hashtag for display to a user in response to a geographic user query based on the assigned permanent geolocation stored in the data store. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer system for geotagging hashtags, the system comprising at least one processor and at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computer system to:
-
determine geographic location information related to a hashtag; assign a geolocation to the hashtag based on the determined geographic location information; store the assigned geolocation in association with the hashtag in a data store; and provide the hashtag for display to a user in response to a geographic user query based on the assigned geolocation stored in the data store; wherein the geographic user query comprises a map request based on a geolocation of a user; and wherein the hashtag is included at the assigned geolocation in a map provided for display to the user. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
