Positive and negative tweets make the flag raise up and lower down in real-time. Twitter Launches Ramadan 'Hashflags' (The Guardian) Twitter has introduced its second set of "hashflags" for users observing Ramadan and celebrating Eid, following from the state-specific flags introduced during the World Cup.
