    Default #What #Is #This #?

    I'm almost afraid to ask this because I know it's some ridiculous social network thing, and, besides INTERCOT of course... well anyway... #so #what #the #heck #does #this #mean #?

    Hashtags are being used on twitter to link postings from one group to another. You will also see them on facebook to link something there to one's twitter account. Supposedly it makes things easier to search.

    From Wikipedia section on social usage:
    In blogs, # is sometimes used to denote a permalink for that particular weblog entry.
    On social networking sites such as Twitter, # is used to denote a metadata tag, or "hashtag".

    You can do a search on google for #. I found the results rather interesting and I know more about the # symbol than I ever cared to, now.

    Well, it's just one of those things about social networking that's 'in' right now, and if you participate, it's there. I remember being confused and thinking it served no purpose when I first starting tweeting, but now I somwhat understand.

    I'm sure something else will be 'in' a few years from now.

    I keep trying to "like" people's tweets....lol I tweet once and a while, but I just can't seem to get used to it lol. I have used the # when saying something witty or seeing the "trends" hashes come up, but just used it cause it seemed like that's what you do....but still not completely sure. lol

    I'm not a big personal tweeter, but I do enjoy tweeting for @INTERCOT from Disney and bringing news, pics and happenings to our followers live. It's fun! #WDW #Epcot #DHS #MagicKingdom #AnimalKingdom. LOL!

    I was trying to help someone the other day do something on the phone and they were having trouble because they didn't know what to press when it asked you to press pound....

    at first, I thought, are you kidding me??? then I looked at them and said - it's the thing that looks like the "hashtag" and suddenly they got it! made me feel SUPER old at the ripe old age of 30.....

    I remember when you used to have to hit "pound" to complete the sending of a "page" to a "pager"....

    I remember when the # symbol was something you put in front of numbers... Like we're #1!!!

    and i remember when the pound symbol represented weight.... 12#'s of fresh fish


    lol
