Today, my girlfriend got a Twitter account. Now she won't stop hashtagging everything she sends me. FML

My friend used to do that. Then, whenever he sent me something hashtagged, I'd reply with #thisisnottwitter. He stopped pretty quick.

How could 3 commenters in a row all get the hashtag placement wrong.

OMG LOOKOUT! Your life is totally #******!

I've said #SIXSEASONSANDAMOVIE, but I'm not hashtagging, I'm quoting something that hashtagged, so it's okay. Joke fml here: Today, my boss got so annoyed with people hashtagging everything that he said he would fire the next person to do it. I was fired for writing #define WIDTH 180. FML

I don't Twitter. What's the hash tag actually used for?

I don't use Twitter either, but they are for searches and for trending topics. So if you go #thedarkknightrises people can search for your tweet and find it. And if enough people use the same hashtag it will be in the list of trending topics. Trending topics show people what is popular, and if people are trying to raise awareness about something then it's helpful to hashtag it to get it trending. #findthegirlwhowaskidnappedohno! I have never even been on twitter.com or whatever the twitter url is, so I don't know how accurate this info is. But I love answering questions (and I've been suspended from Yahoo! Answers, sadly).

Yes, you're right. It's useful for creating a topic forum such as #QandA ; or to see who else is talking about the game when the #AFL is on. Some people use them ironically #superfluousexplanation I agree they should only be used on twitter though. Super irritating to read around otherwise...

4 - Just checking. You know 'YOLO' means you should make something of your life, not do stupid shit like post annoying comments, right?

We're you trying to set the record for most thumbs down? You might win.
