The hash tag, or “pound sign” has become ubiquitious with Twitter.com’s search model. It’s so addictive, I find myself using it on facebook, in emails, and even the occasional #SMS… whoops, there I go again. At any rate, the hash tag can make a movement where there was a void before. I recently saw my friend Tim use this on Twitter, using the tag, or hash, #insteadofshopping he also made a video using the ever enjoyable animoto service.
There are countless examples of its use, #sxsw is a biggie, it symbolizes perhaps the place where the hash tag really took off, South by Southwest. More on that later, my 140 are just about #up.
