ALL HASHTAG

I remember when my Mattie was in the 9th grade and I made a comment to her about emailing and how in the world could there be anything more than that? ( I was just coming down from a fax high.)

Her to me:  "Mom...the next thing is already here"

Me to her:  "What in the world could that possibly be?"

Her to me:  "It's called texting silly"

So now...we're all hashtagging and I can't help but believe that there is no way the symbol can be as important as the

in a url

or the 

in an email address

but it has certainly reached epic status and created a

and you know what they say about a paradigm shift...

A hashtag is a word or a phrase prefixed with the symbol #. It is a form of metadata tag. 

Hashtags first appeared and were used within IRC networks to label groups and topics. They are also used to mark individual messages as relevant to a particular group, and to mark individual messages as belonging to a particular topic or "channel". Hashtags' popularity grew concurrently with the rise and popularity of Twitter and may be tagged by putting "#" before important words
