    Not if it's interesting or funny.

    But the "act like you've been here before" rule applies in most cases. That said, there's a cottage industry of star-fuckers on Twitter who do nothing except tweet to celebrities and retweet the responses.

    I think that's the first time you ever come close to endorsing a comment of mine. #hellfreezingover

    Now can someone please explain the hashtag # and when it is/is not applicable?

    It's technically supposed to be a means to search something because it is clickable. If you click on #NBAFinals, you can presumably find everybody else discussing the NBA Finals with that hashtag.

    What it has evolved into is teenagers stringing words together without spaces and making the sequence a hashtag.

    Hashtags are overrated. If you enter #NBAFinals as a string, you'll also find folks who just type "NBA Finals." I'm assuming Twitter's search function has improved over time. (I'm a more recent Twitter convert.)

    Yep, hashtags are overrated because of the search function. You can search for Lumineers and not have to worry about #lumineers.

  10. Save hashtags for Twitter. Do not put them on Facebook, unless you want to be seen as a teenage girl or a woman older nearing 30 who still acts like a teenage girl.

    Or you like trolling people with absurd opinions like this. #hashtagsforever #hashtagseverywhere

    Facebook is adding hashtag capability now.
