"FacebookPinterest\n\n Just a couple of years ago, our little friend # was nearly irrelevant, relegated to the lonely domains of foam fingers (we're #1!) and robocalls (press # for more options). But these days, along with its boyfriend @, # is leading the charge in the Twitter Revolution (#SorryISaidTwitterRevolution). Hashtags have changed the way we think, communicate, process information. In all likelihood you're hash-tagging something right now. # is everywhere. # is inside you. In essence nothing more than a search tool, # has turned Twitter into a global writers' room: mini-memes bounce around, growing and shifting and one-upping, until @pattonoswalt and @michaelianblack have wrung every possible pun out of their shriveled meme-corpses. And # has feelings, too. # is not a monster! This year, to commemorate 9/11, the hashtag #WhereWereYou swept the Twitterverse (#SorryISaidTwitterverse), a cathartic, mesmerizing, sometimes mundane aggregation of moments\u2014a snapshot of a world suspended in collective mourning. # made it all possible. Can you say the same for %? Nope. That guy's a dick. # for president."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
