your photos

“This modern use of hashtags was pioneered several years ago by one dude: a Google employee. He
thought the old
pound symbol—
hitherto untapped
online—could be
a good way to "tag" tweets, adding order to the
enormous gas cloud of noise that is 99% of all
Twitter action.
This origin doesn't matter anymore. Hashtags at
their best stand in as what linguists call "paralanguage," like shoulder shrugs and intonations. That's
fine. But at their most annoying, the colloquial
hashtag has burst out of its use as a sorting tool
and become a linguistic tumor—a tic more irritating than any banal link or lazy image meme. The
hashtag is conceptually out of bounds, being used
by computer conformists without rules, sense, or
intelligence, a like yknowwwww that now permeates the internet outside of the tweets it was meant
to corral. It pervades Facebook, texting,
Foursquare—turning into a form of "ironic metadata," as linguist Ben Zimmer of The Visual
Thesaurus labels it....says “#Sam Biddle”
