UITextView does not render multiple styles, nor offer link-like behavior. To 
subclass, you'd have to rip out most of the implementation. If you want those 
things, use UIWebView, which is what the other apps (at least the ones written 
by sane people) are doing. Convert the hash-tags to <a> content, with a CSS 
class for special rendering, and your own URL scheme for capturing your special 
action for touches.
