Welcome to all readers...young and old, blond and brunette, literate and well...I guess you have to be literate to enjoy this. But a very special welcome to you personally to my new blog! Having suddenly contracted a writer's itch to escape some of the mundane aspects of work, I decided the perfect topic to write about would be that sacred symbol...that archaic rune of old...
Yes, it's the #.
Formerly known as the pound sign back when people used to need it for touch tone phones...it's now evolved into an iconic networking of social news. You can hashtag your party last night(#whydidIwakeupwithacrayonmustache?)...though you may not want to incriminate yourself, so be careful. You could hashtag that millionth pic you've taken of your darling daughter (#mydaughterismuchcuterthanyourshandsdown), or you could even hashtag that ugly picture of your date chomping on spaghetti (#Idon'tknowwhyItakehimtoniceplaces). Either way, the hashtag has come to mean something to everyone. It means 'the latest.' It is your innermost thoughts at the specific moment in time you discovered something novel you have to share with the world. The hashtag is 'it.'
For that reason, I hope you'll be stopping by to see my thoughts on the latest hashtags that invade our Netflix queues, our Twitter feeds, and our Facebook statuses. So please come back soon!
#G-Man.
