THE HASHTAG: THE LANGUAGE OF SOCIAL MEDIA MARKS ITS 12TH BIRTHDAY...

By
"How do you feel about using # (pound) for groups. As in #barcamp [msg]?" This was the first tweet ever that had a hashtag on it, tweeted by @chrismessina on August 23, 2007. That's right, today marks the 12 year anniversary of the hashtag! The symbol has been part of popular culture since 2007, but it wasn't until 2011-2012 that it started getting really popular, and by 2013, the "hashtag craze" had started. 2013 was crazy for hashtags; they were so popular in 2013 (and today) that Instagram had to set a 30 hashtag limit per post! They were THAT popular. And that limit still applies today.


So, congratulations to the hashtag for 12 years of social media awesomeness!

Happy June! Aren't you glad that school is almost over? (or already is if you are in college) My last day of school is June 24th! Summer is just around the corner! I'm very sorry I haven't posted lately, and that's just because it takes a lot of time to do a blog post, and I haven't had much time lately. But I want to start June on a nice note and start blog posting again! So, here's what I did yesterday, May 31 2019: I went to Chuck E Cheese! I have not been there since Dec 12 2015! (my 12th birthday) We went to support Mom's school that she works at, and I had a semi-good time. Unfortunately, the arcade was not the best time, but also not the worst. It's just because the jackpots were very low, and the arcade only had like 20 games, and the fact that most were kid-themed games. (like Paw Patrol) I had a good time on some of the games, but like I said, the jackpots were very low (but that's only because little kids can't comprehend big jackpo...

It's Been A While... Happy New Year BTW

Personal note: Blogging is SO (before) 2022. Stay up to date with my content in 2023 onwards on my Instagram @tr27.official  (follow if you want to, it's up to you.) 325 followers as of 3:08PM EST, 12/31/2022. Eras aren't forever, and everything and every era must eventually come to an end, and that likely includes my time here on this site as my blogging era has come to a quiet end. However, NOTHING WILL BE DELETED. EVER. All content made on this site will remain from the past 4 years, and will remain as long as Blogger's servers remain online. If Blogger does ever shut down, ALL CONTENT HERE WILL BE ARCHIVED MULTIPLE TIMES. EVERY LINK. EVERY POST. EVERYTHING. I am strongly anti-deletion, and I shall stay that way, 2022 or 2023 or whatever year it is that you are reading this. Once posted on the internet, EVERYTHING LASTS FOREVER. AND I SUPPORT THAT. Anyways, here's my post: It's been a while since I last posted. As you can probably tell, I last posted on April 8, ...

My High School Years: Episode II (9/14/18)

This is SEASON 1 EPISODE 2. Summary: I went to a tag sale and found a 2000s relic: A 1GB MEMORY CARD! I also went with Dad to Holyoke Mall to eat, and I also went to Holyoke Mall to get Melanie's new phone! Believe it or not, this was the last week that they sold the iPhone X; see my post about that  here . I also went to River Valley Market, and that was fun. I went to the YMCA to pick up Melanie. I went to the dentist, which was a quick 10 minutes and EASY. I also went to Kisara. Seen this episode? Check out  S1 E3 ! Updated 2/18/19.
