As most of us know, a hashtag is something used on twitter, allowing topics to trend and related tweets to be found. But the world is becoming just a wee bit too involved in the social media.
Last night, on Nov 26th at 10 p.m. a baby was born. That baby now has to live with their parents obsession with the social media after being named Hashtag, yes, Hashtag. What is wrong with the world?
First of all, I hate hashtags. I love the idea of them, and the purpose behind them, but I cannot stand when I see twitter users using them incorrectly. A fellow UMass student once tweeted #jumpingoffthe25thfloorofthelibrarybrb. That is not a hashtag. That is not going to bring together a communal topic. The use of hashtags is now being abused, and naming your child hashtag is almost abusive.
I guess the family wanted their last name to be a trending topic. Hashtag Smith. #Smith.
