Subject: What is the difference between :foo and "foo" ?

Hi,

I am a Ruby newbie. I wish I didn't post such a simple question here
but I had to.
What is the difference between :foo (a keyword) and "foo"(a string).
Can they be used interchangeably? Are they fundamentally same and is
the only difference performance?

Thanks in advance
