Not only is there a broad range of online languages, but the deeper you get into one particular language, the more complex it seems to get. The Twitter hashtag seems to exemplify this complexity.
I am mildly aware of Twitter language, so I know that a hashtag is a way to mark words or phrases in order to make the post appear in searches and contribute to a trending topic. However, after reading this article it's become quite apparent that the hashtag has taken on many different meanings in the Twitter world and all over social media.
The article takes a witty stance when explaining the different ways to communicate via a hashtag and it made for an amusing read. I'm interested to see how this Twitter language will continue to evolve and see how it seeps out into different branches of social media.
I find it very difficult at times to think of what hashtag applies to my tweet. Very interesting post! I would love it if you came and visited my blog, feel free to follow me and I will gladly follow in return :)
