Can you please explain what the #tags do, when are where do I use them and or apply?

Yep and the same on Twitter.

So you know how people talk about trending topics? Hastags are the way people all are talking about the same thing on twitter!

So this morning someone wrote something which seemed cryptic about jill Meagher and i was confused so i clicked on the hashtag and it took me to all the tweets with the hashtag and i found about out the guy being charged etc.

Also hashtags are used for discussing tv shows and the like.

try checking out #qanda when the show is on - it trends every week!

I see you’ve removed your “insulting” post. That’s probably for the best.

Dude, WHAT were you thinking?!?!?!

How dare you imply that for someone to do something that has a potentially huge impact on someone else’s business, it’d be advisable that they’re actually quite knowledgable in the relevant subject matter!!!

Hey I need some building work done. Anyone wanna ‘put their hand up’? No actual experience necessary - as long as you’ve watched a couple of episodes of ‘The Block’, that should be enough.

I didn’t think I articulated it very well, so I took it down to reword it wink  and then forgot about it. It was far from insulting (other than to me perhaps) but perhaps not as diplomatic as it could have been. Doesn’t mean it wasn’t valid though.

I thoroughly agree, it was FAR from “insulting”. Unfortunately, other more petty, sensitive types disagree (hence the quotation marks).

(BTW, you’d articulated it just fine)
