    hash tags on facebook in a status, when not from a joint account with twitter...... that's not serving a purpose, right? (I didn't want to make anyone feel bad on fb so I'm asking here :p )

    Isn't that what got Mariah Carey fired from American Idol? She kept saying "Hashtag: Pow" live on the air. And every time she said it, Idol lost about half a million viewers.

    Using hashtags on anything other than twitter is the worst crime.

    If someone complains about it on Facebook I will use it on their status.

    At this point I could do without fb altogether. But alas, it's linked to my Spotify account.

    Where did that term come from. I still call it the 'number sign'.

    I just googled #, it's a number sign. :p

    [glad to know I'm not crazy. thanks JC :) ]
    It always registered in my head as "pound" and, quite honestly, that sounds far cooler and funnier, people of the world, imho.

    Twitter is a stupid and corrupting thing in the first place, as I tried to warn you all.

    People who use hashtags are bad and they should feel bad.

    I don't think I've used more than 4 hashtags in my life... and all on my twitter account which I haven't been on for about 2 weeks.

    I only use them on Twitter. I think I'd have to seriously restrain myself from stabbing somebody if they used hashtags in RL.

    I have used them on FB and there's nothing you can do about it!! Mwahahahahaha!

    It is silly, but it's not like that's ever stopped people from doing things.

    There's something much, much more annoying on Facebook anyway: folks who like their own statuses/pictures, etc.

    Holy crap I hate that. Of course you like your status/photo/etc, that's why you posted it in the first place, you dumbass.

    Not sure, when the phone voice-automated systems want you to press the # button they always say "The Hash Key". At least they do here anyway, I guess calling it "Number Key" on a dial full of numbers would be confusing.
