Most people recognize a hashtag for what it is and read it, or ignore it and move on. But there are some people who have a visceral reaction to hashtags, especially when they come across them outside the twitterverse. "Hashtags have two uses", I tried to explain to Kevin, my barber - I mean hair stylist. "One use is a category tag that allows you to search for other Tweets on the same topic. The second use is a way of setting context or commenting, often humorously." Kevin asks, "How the *%?$ does it make sense to use hashtags on Facebook?" "Well, Kevin, I think it is safe to say those folks intend the second use." "That is so f!"@#€~ stupid! That annoys the crap out of me!" "It's just a hashtag. Don't look at it. Ignore it." "I can't. It's too f!"@#€~ stupid!" This conversation has to be the most fun I've had since 2008. ...and it just keeps paying dividends! orig post date APR 2013 Comments are closed.
