Re: Twitter Whites
Why does everything need a hash and an at sign?
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

It's kind of an "in joke" now on twitter. Trending topics don't get picked up by hashtags anymore, or so I'm told.
The "@" is a username, so if I were to mention you (and your username was "LordKangana") by putting @LordKangana, you would see the message in your "mentions" column, rather than *just* in your "feed".

Re: Twitter Whites
"at" sign is your user name.
My username = @JebusF
If you wanted to message me, in your tweet you would write "@JebusF i am messaging you"
As in "my message is aimed @JebusF"
The hashtags are to group together messages related to that tag. IE, if you say "@JebusF I am messaging you about my #penis" then you could click the hashtag (#penis) and see messages that OTHER users have written which also includes "#penis".
Another example "Shit, shocking injury to Stuart Holden #bwfc" means that other fans of #bwfc can click it, see all message including "#bwfc"

Re: Twitter Whites
Just join, follow a few people, you'll soon get it.
It is hard to explain, just get involved for a couple of weeks and if you don't like it, don't use it.
Easy

But then he wouldn't have gotten the hint, regarding messaging me about his #penis

Re: Twitter Whites
I got the idea that you want me to discuss it, yes. Is there anything unusual about it?

You tell us! It's YOUR penis we are discussing.

Well don't you think you should ask my permission first?

Re: Twitter Whites
How come you're ghost writing for the former Everton Middlesborough and Wanderers right back?

Re: Twitter Whites
The # sign is really useful as it makes the topic instantly searchable. See a tweet with #megsonisacunt in it, click on the word and every tweet with #megsonisacunt will be displayed in list.Lord Kangana wrote:Why does everything need a hash and an at sign?
