Since Facebook introduced hashtags, I've been interested in finding out more about them. Can someone point me in the direction of possibly tracking the hashtags similar to how twitter allows us access to pull hashtag data via their API.

There is currently no API for the hashtags feature on Facebook
edit: there was however a public posts search function which will return some public posts with a certain hashtag if you use that hashtag as the search string in API version 1.0 - there is no equivalent in version 2.0 onwards
