Well, how about that. Nope…didn’t see it that way, Petey. Nor do I feel the least bit humiliated.
But I will tell you that earlier this year, I left a comment on a prominent blogger’s blog that was not as polite as it could have been.
Now THAT was humiliating.
Learned a valuable lesson there about the importance of common courtesy online. Even wrote a post about it.
Just because it’s easy to insult someone (intentionally or inadvertently) behind the anonymity of a computer screen, doesn’t mean it’s the smartest thing to do.
Thanks for your observation, mate.
Best regards,
-Renee

You do realise #D10T looks like IDIOT?

It’s one thing to have quick and easy references, it’s another to inadvertantly humiliate yourself. Just a thought!

Oliv,
Il parait qu’il y a pas mal de vent en France, peut-etre bientot le vent du changement… Surtout faites-moi signe quand vous tombez amoureux de twitter, je serais heureuse d’en savoir plus.

Let me know if I can be of any help. You can find me on twitter at http://www.twitter.com/usegraymatter

LOL! Hashtag, pound sign, number sign…it’s all good. But even better when used effectively as a search tool on twitter!
Thx for your comment and for the laugh.

Thanks for updating my lingo – for several decades I’ve called the hashtag #, number sign. We never stop learning. It keeps us young.

This was such a great post. I found out about hashtags when going to conferences for live-tweeting – examples #fem2pt0 and #vizthink09 . They help to keep Twitter sub communities tied together (see my experiments #NSA for those interested in privacy issues and #ABD for advanced graduate students). You can also create live tweet chats easily by using hashtags. Say, oh, you want to watch American Idol with other fans. Announce the time (9pm) in advance with agreed upon #AI, then go to tweetchat.com, enter the “room” with #AI, and you can see everyone’s posts and respond. It’s a blast! During the stimulus package hearings there was a hilarious round of “#stimpaksexytalk” (check it out). I always love reading the GrayMatter Minute. Thank you.

Through you, I’ve just learned something new, too!

Was wondering how to make use of those hash tags.

Thanks for the great explanation.

We all learn something new on Twitter every day! I really enjoyed your blog post! I’m glad you didn’t let the naysayers keep you from blogging about what you want to blog about!
