I am even stinking older than I thought. The # sign always meant pounds when following a number and number when proceeding a number (ie. 37#=37pounds, ID#=ID Number). Now (like everyone else) I see this sign attached to EVERY TV title on every network. According to your explanation we now have to call this a hash sign and somehow use it with twitter (I have less than no interest in twitter).

So my question; is attaching the # (hash sign) to a TV title only of value to those who tweet (tweet being another abnoxious new term), or is this attached # (hash sign) have any other use or meaning with TV shows? OMG is this yet another dubious gift from those tweety folks?

When the # thing started popping up in the corner of TV shows, I’d log into IRC and nobody would ever be in the room but myself… I could never figure it out, the # was never used for anything else but IRC room names… I refuse to join Twitter. I’m keeping my #’s for IRC.

THANK YOU! Thank You!! Finally clarification. I have shared with all of my friends. I am only 29 and many of my friends have been very confused on this # thing. It is explained on the Twitter website but nothing like you have done. Your article is great. Thank you for really breaking it down. This is very well appreciated and received : )
