I see them used outside of Twitter as sort of a punchline. Kinda like how people use spoiler tags here sometimes.

ToxicAdam · Dec 30, 2011

It's no different than using a slash or spoiler quotes. Which 80% of GAf has done at some time.

Hah! Now the finger is pointing back at you? Not so high and mighty now!

To be fair I can cross post on my phone, but it tells you it came from my phone and not from twitter. Still it's updating twitter/facebook/windows live all at the same time.

Twitter is the new facebook, twitterisms show yer down with Twitter and thus up with shit on the interwebs lol

Can't you use hashtags to post your facebook status on twitter and vice versa?

I think the issue is that they are doing it ironically. #dealwithit

RedSwirl · Dec 30, 2011

They probably copied and pasted it from a Twitter update.

Edit: Oh. Well, why not?

fuck hashtags.

BobsRevenge · Dec 30, 2011

It can be a sensible way to add context to your communication, and it makes sense to people. It isn't clever anymore, but there was a time it was.

I don't have a problem with it.

Almost as bad as putting @ in front of someone's name when responding to them.

That was actually a thing in Facebook. Hash tags are a Twitter thing so this is totally different!

People I know do it as a goof.

Disagree with the first part.
Guilty of the second

Naw, if I hit several people up in one reply, @ does it's job.

I remember 10+ years ago when it was cool to put stuff in tags like that.

Meadows · Dec 30, 2011

because they've synced their twitter and facebook.

or they're cunts.

RotBot · Dec 30, 2011

I just checked to see if using the Google Plus method of adding a + before a name to reference someone works on Facebook, and it does. It starts searching names as soon as you type the first letter, instead of after a few letters as it usually does. Was this added after Google Plus or has it been there for a while?

People now do this in my company's internal email. Whatever was wrong with "Hi industrian," that it had to be fixed with "@industrian" I'll never know.

When it first started letting you tag other people's names, it worked with an @ symbol. They probably added + after G+ started using it.

So you can make a little joke or express an idea without having to form an actual sentence that makes sense in the context of the conversation. #welcometotheinterent #youcouldhavefiguredthisoutyourself

ascii42 · Dec 30, 2011

I've only done it once. It went something like this:

My iPhone 4S is broken so I have to slum it with an iPhone 3G. #firstworldproblems

I'm not sure how better to communicate that.

clearacell · Dec 30, 2011

Hoping it'll be quoted on twitter? I dunno, the @Screennamehere works on facebook.

Esch · Dec 30, 2011

pretty annoying trend, but i dont use twitter

DR3AM · Dec 30, 2011

Some people (not all) linked their accounts so when they post on fb, it automatically goes to twitter too, and vice versa

echoshifting · Dec 30, 2011

So much better than /this or :this: or what have you, to convey action or a state of mind. Much more universally understood. I don't see a problem here.
