I came across this now and would like to debate to create a logic.

Well, nowadays is used a lot of hashtags for everything in the main social networks, I almost never go to Twitter and when I enter I come across strange hashtags and do not know what they are talking about, this leaves the user a little lost, and if there was a mechanism that would create a description of such a hashtag? Let them describe in small lines what they are saying to show the user and do not leave him lost.

I remember reading a news that Twitter was planning / launching something like this but I did not find it to search for more information, the "mechanism" would have to follow 3 rules of practice:

Be fully automatic, with no human help to create the description
Being programmed in PHP and MySQL
Maximum 200 characters for description.

With my thoughts off I imagined that we would have to get the messages that contain HASHTAG X in the bank, see words that have in common, from that he searches in a database and assembles the description, I think so and you ?

Assuming that the question is indeed on-topic and not based on opinions (I'm not sure, but I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt), it seems to me that what you want is to implement in PHP and MySQL an algorithm that automatically for each hashtag a description of a maximum of 200 characters for it. Is that it?

If you're right, your problem falls into a very complicated artificial intelligence area, because the system would have to look at the texts related to each hashtag, understand what they mean and what their relationship is with each other then create a description that makes sense .

That is, your algorithm will have to be able to understand a text where someone celebrates the goal, or complains about a certain politician or talks about what he thinks of the novel, or tells about the trip abroad, or tells a joke internal to a particular group ... To make matters worse, people often write badly spelled texts, write in several different languages and use hashtags in a totally incoherent way. That is, you'd better forget this idea.

With the algorithm you are guessing, the most you can get is a bunch of words that you know pop up in the texts with the hashtag. But so what? A heap of words of unknown significance alone does not form an intelligible description of anything.
