lol #hashtags
So what do you think of hashtags? Do you find them annoying? Or perhaps you use them? Do you think they're a convenient way to pull up search results on social media sites?
|
When it comes to hashtags, they can sometimes be interesting. Sometimes they can be quite funny. I have never used them though. Course sometimes they can be both annoying and convenient at the same time.

They can be interesting, but I don't really use them. Because everyone uses them it seems like. |
These days, I'm pretty much annoyed by the fact that hashtags appear everywhere you go, especially in television shows. Some shows even will show a 'live feed' of their Twitter account in-show (such as The Talk on CBS, which shows a Twitter feed ticker with tweets posted to the show's account by viewers.)
Just about every topic in the world can be made into a hashtag now, but I'm not all that fond of 'follow this one' or that one. |
I'm not a Twitter person, so the only place I use hashtags is Instagram :P And even then I try to keep them to a minimal in comparison to some people I know who write paragraphs worth of hashtags...I find them quite useful in that you can filter out what you're specifically looking for.
|
Didn't bother with them before I got a Twitter, unless I was mocking them.
Hashtags can be useful or interesting, but it's overdone. People overuse them to obnoxious levels. Seriously, you don't need 20 hastags in one post. |
I've only used hashtags when talking about subjects I want people to find me for. They do help in that way.
#But #when #every #word #is #a #hashtag, it's annoying. That's not a good way to get your tweets or whatever noticed because those aren't important words. It's even more annoying when people use hashtags on sites that don't use hashtags. What's the point? |
I'm a member of neither Twitter, Instagram, nor any other sites that use them, so no hash-tags for me. :( I used to have a Twitter account, though, which I deleted few years back. If I still had it and were active, then only time you would see me using them is when referring to something in particular, such as either movies, TV shows, music, or books.
|
I don't mind hashtags on Twitter and other sites that use them, as long as they're used for their intended purpose. I use them on occasion myself, but only if I'm following along with a conversation on Twitter.
Oh, and maybe that one time in the April Fools thread, which has a hidden message if you hover over top of it. Quote:

I actually never noticed you could now hashtag in Facebook until a couple weeks ago and I facepalm-ed. If you're going to use hashtags, at least use useful ones and not ridiculous ones that make me question your IQ -.- I try to keep my Instagram ones to less than 5-10.
|
I never Used it and probaly Never will!
|
I tried using them.. once on Twitter but it was awkward even though Twitter is hashtag heaven. Outside that first attempt I've never used 'em as I don't find a need to. They can get very, very silly. One of the current ones trending on Twitter US is "#ThinkOfALieToGetOffThePhone" lol whaat.
|
I only use hashtags ironically, or to get free stuff. In the former case, I generally do it around good friends, but I really don't mind who I do it around, and it's the same for the internet. In the latter case, I do it for the sake of giveaways and the like, the ones that make you retweet things. I don't really mind what I retweet since that's basically all that my twitter account is for.

Why are all those necessary? Also, something I dislike about social media in general, and probably an underlying purpose for tags is that people want "likes." I've had friends tell me to like their photos just because they want them, to which I obviously decline. |
I only use them if I really need to. But when I do, I try to keep it at maximum of two-one hashtags.
Annoying? Most of the time. |
I don't care about their usage online (I personally use them pretty often), but it grinds my gears when people use them in real life... it's just not necessary, even if it is in jest.

I personally don't use hash tags that much myself, but I see them used a lot by others. |
Not a #addict, but I don't mind them on the internet. Out of the internet is where I draw the line.

I'm alright with hashtags every once in a while, but am not at all a fan of overuses. #I #don't #freaking #get #why #people #do #this. Sure, they help me find related things easier, but when I see a post filled with hashtags, I cringe both internally and externally and avert my eyes. The only place I use hashtags is on Twitter. Even so, I only use one or two, not twenty.

I absolutely love hashtags.
Originally, I started using them ironically, but now I cannot help myself. More oft than not, I use them in texting or in social media all the time. |
I find hashtag to be kind of... stupid imo.
Especially those people who used hashtags on Facebook back when they didn't evne implemented them yet. It's like... why use it...? You post a regular picture on Facebook and yet you put useless hashtags >> People also use hashtags on anything nowadays. #Soannoying |
It's annoying to see it spread. I don't want to see it outside Twitter, as simple as.
|
I think they are annoying when people use then excessively, but I would use a few on IG.
#HashtagsAre4Sqaures. |
I love hashtags. I mean, I use them fairly ironically on twitter. Occasionally I will use them seriously: such as in giveaways/publicity events or when I'm giving context for a tweet. (ie: "i've already hatched 300 eggs, i can't believe this #pokemonxy") More often, I'll do them jokingly. (ie: "whoops stayed up until 5am on a school night... #responsibleadult")
The only other place I go that uses tags is tumblr and there I use them mainly for categorizing my posts (by fandom, generally) but also to give commentary that I don't want cluttering up the post itself. I looove the way tumblr uses tags for both reasons and I probably enjoy reading tags on posts more than the posts themselves. |
there's an interesting article i've read that suggested that hashtags have now evolved as forms of "asides." if you're familiar with shakespeare's plays, asides are usually those moments when characters either murmur quietly to themselves, or verbalise their thoughts (without the others hearing, of course). i think it's interesting, because hashtags do tend to have a trend of usage. i've never really seen someone type or say something like, "#i #want #food" (unless it's in jest), but they're often used like, "i want chocolate #yummy," the "yummy," being an aside or insight.
personally, i think they put some variety in written and spoken language. i don't personally use them that much, as i'm usually very upfront about my "asides" or thoughts, but i have friends who often use them, and i don't mind the least. |
Ive never been a big fan of hashtags, not because of the hashtags themselves, but because of how people overdo them...
I use them myself every now and then, mostly in a funny and very non-sense way #likethis |
My rule is, use them properly or don't use them at all. I stay away from sites that use hashtags a lot so I don't see the really annoying people. I use no more than two and I'll use them properly or as a joke.
They've gotten out of hand for most people now. They can be funny if ised right. Otherwise they're just annoying. Quote:

I find hashtags as something normal on Twitter. Even though I didn't use them much, I don't mind seeing hashtags at all.
|
I'm not really active on sites that use hashtags a bunch, so I haven't gotten into the habit yet of using them at all. While I do find their usage to be a bit silly at times, at least outside of the places where they're useful, it hasn't gotten to the point where I'm actually annoyed by them. I guess I figure if they're the new thing to use, then I might as well just sit back and get used to seeing them. :P
|
Wait... I thought this was a number sign? # How did it ever get associated with hashing?
|
I hate them. Blame #yoloswag and stuff like that. People using them senselessly, is when people annoy me with hashtags. Either learn to use them or get rid of them.
|
Hashtags... I sometimes use it to tag my posts. That is what hashtags are for.
#IPlaceMyInnerMonologueInTagsAtTumblrAsWell But when people abuse hashtags #by #placing #them #before #every #word, it gets annoying. |
