@chrismessina Great idea. I’d think about patenting the idea and charging one cent per #hindsightisawonderfulthing

@chrismessina And in other news, how are you? It’s been a while.

@Malarkey good! Learning how to grow up, a little!

@chrismessina Don‘t do that!

@Malarkey I know I know. Working on it. But not too hard.

@chrismessina you mean like we used to do on IRC? cc: @Malarkey /msg [user] #warez-ftp

@chrismessina Hi Chris, we'd like to spotlight this Tweet in a Twitter blog post. Let us know if you have any objections. Thanks!

@chrismessina So, after this tweet, Twitter started hashtags? If so, other social networks shouldn't use them add it's Twitter thing.

@Xane_Xanecom no, Twitter (the company) resisted hashtags in the beginning. Hashtags weren't intended to be Twitter-only. Web > Twitter

@chrismessina ahh...It's weird how I associate them with Twitter.

@Xane_Xanecom it's not weird, but if you'd started on @iInstagram, you'd associate them with @iInstagram. They're network agnostic!

@chrismessina @iInstagram Ohhhhhh... So, Facebook isn't being some kind if ripoff using hashtags?

Why the #? “@chrismessina: how do you feel about using # (pound) for groups. As in #barcamp [msg]?” Tag at beg or end of msg? #firsthashtag

@brittanyannen # because of IRC convention and it was easy to type on T-9 phones in 2007! (Pre-touch!)

@chrismessina T-9! Lest we forget. What's your opinion on what it's become? #hashtag #hashtags ;)
