@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 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?

.@chrismessina You mean like hashtags?

@jordanekay I didn't call them that in 2007 when I proposed them, but yes, exactly like #hashtags.

@chrismessina @jordanekay @andylevy already invented those.

@TimHaines @jordanekay @andylevy did he tell you that I also invented dubstep?

@chrismessina how does this tweet only have 400~ retweets? This tweet changed the game

@yo the hidden history of hashtags lives in plain sight. :)

@chrismessina you're a hero
