What is the purpose of a hashtag?
Lately I have taken to adding the odd hashtag to my Facebook status updates. I use them mostly to quickly add detail to the post and maybe for a bit of humor. My 14 year-old has informed me that I am not using hashtags correctly and yesterday my step-son told me that I am missing the point of the hashtag. So what is the point of hashtags and how are they used properly?
FYI, here is the status my step-son was referring to when he said I didn’t use hashtags correctly: Sat next to a guy on the shuttle whose ridiculously loud iPod featured some kind of punk rock version of The Jeffersons Theme Song. #poser #George&Weezy #hello1970’s
