This is going to be a really small blog post. Something that would keep up with the spirit of Twitter. A few months back, I really caught on to Twitter -- like a house on fire. There were many reasons. But the main reason was the need to employ impromptu, ingenious ways to frame concise text messages to pull in contexts from anything ranging from pop-culture to mathematics. This is amply demonstrated in
this link to a Twitter search page which gives you the results for the hashtag #cgawkerissoedgy.
Now, you will need to understand a little bit of the background:
- cgawker, or @cgawker in Twitter, is a funny guy on Twitter with an edgy sense of humor
- Hashtags (#) are used to refer to a particular topic on Twitter. A hashtag is a way to unite global Tweets around some particular topic. Basically, these are tags that that help those who seek similar content discover your Tweets. Read more about it here, here, and here.
- #cgawkerissoedgy was a hashtag invented by his followers on Twitter to refer to his humor. It reads "cgawker is so edgy."
Go through the list of entries in there. Decide for yourself. Isn't
Twitter the coolest? More importantly, aren't
@cgawker and his friends the coolest?

Haha, nice summary. Hashtags can be quite the bandwidth choking mechanism too if not used correctly :)
I'll remember this advice when I become a bot from the Far East!
