Does it even work?

Hashtags are a brilliant way of spotting stupidity from afar, as people #whohashtaglikethis don't really seem to grasp how they're supposed to be used.

Same. What is all this hashtag nonsense.

They are like spicy version of hash browns.

Taking a system that is used to categorise a tweet or post with a keyword and inventing long and unique categories that nobody else will look for or use is a pointless exercise. On the other hand, using a hashtag to include a post in a certain category that other people will use is a useful way of prompting discussion when other people happen to find the message by clicking on the same hashtag in other posts.

Arguably hashtags have a viable alternate purpose as a sort of 'aside' within a message, although their main reason for existence is as a categorisation tool. #NoNeedToFeelSoSuperior

Yep, I'm with Wakka on the hashtags. I have seen them used nicely as punctuation and punchlines.

I thought a lot of the hash tagging done on facebook was linked to instagram photos

Rain. It's ****ing hammering in Landon. I took my shoes off, and walked bare-foot to the Tube in an effort to keep my shoes dry.

I use hashtags as a secret sex language with my bitch.

It's not so secret if people were looking for a cottage holiday and searched #cottaging or if fans of traditional Scottish music looked for other posts marked #bagpipes...

[nakamura]

Would you like to blow my #bagpipes?
