Hi, My Name is Jayna & I'm a Rampant #Hashtag User

So I'm a little goofy today ...but when is that 'different'. I've been loving twitter a lot lately (my recent blog topics can back me up). I'm at that level of engagement that I can banter with a number of people, scan for the most relevant content and just enjoy the fast pace of other people's conversations.

Hashtags are a twitter tool that allows people to collect tweets under one topic umbrella. By entering the "#" sign before a word or phrase (withnospaces) you can create a topic collecting agent. People can talk about a topic such as #followfriday & #musicmonday and in this, they can join a greater conversation outside of their followers & followees.



I created this ugly image - if you want to swipe it for your own #hashtaglove please give me the props please!


Then there are other people who, like me, on occasion get caught up in a tweet and put things up like #Imarriedagreatguy. I will be the first to admit - it's useless, I did it just to put in an arbitrary hashtag. But it's fun. I'm the only one to rock this hashtag for now. I doubt it will be a top trending topic (the most commonly mentioned topics on Twitter over a period of time). But maybe I'll get some other tweets in there about married life!


No matter what - I noticed I kinda do this a lot. Enter a random hashtag for the fun of the post. Does that make me wrong or just enthusiastic?


You decide... write a stinkin' comment or two on my blog, people. I'm not doing this to talk to myself! :) At least I have my newish comment from Lisa! :)
