Dave Walk Another annoying thing about Twitter: the daily reminder that people coalsce around meaningless things by way of #hashtags. But I can't tell if this is a problem with the medium or the people that use it. And all of this said, I think Twitter is an amazing and life changing app..

Simon Janes I think the #hashtags phenom has a distancing/anonymizing effect on Twitter, people see the hashtag but not so much the author. Then attention-seekers and griefers join in and poison the channel.

Dave Walk Yeah every trending topic I see now on Twitter is spam links trying to ride the wave of the hashtag.
