How do you feel about hashtags? You either love them or you hate them, or… you don’t know what they are. Either way, there is a trend going on with hashtags on everything. Hashtags are not really new, they started with Twitter as a way to connect people together on a common topic. Then Instagram came around, and now hashtags seem to be way more prevalent.

Here’s how I feel about hashtags: I think they’re great when they connect you with people who share common interests. I do think they can be overdone, and there are a few hashtags that make me cringe, like:

- #selfie – When you take a selfie you don’t need to hashtag it #selfie

- #foodporn – ew…anything with the word porn…Gross! What do you want us to think about? Food, or porn? Yuck!

- #hashtagsaspunchlinesthatconnectyouwithnoone – Translation: Hashtags used as punch lines that connect you with no one because they have way too many words. Plus they make us all have to strain our eyes to figure out what the heck you’re saying…making your joke, well…not very funny.

If you haven’t seen this hilarious video of Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake on Late Night showing what hashtags in real life would sound like, you must. It’s too funny!

I’ve rounded up a bunch of great hashtag items that I think are either pretty or funny including a #selfie hashtag t-shirt, because it’s so wrong that it’s right. As you click through the slideshow, be sure to click on the images to take you to the shop for more info.

Okay…now it’s your turn: What’s the best and worst hashtag? Do you love them or hate them?

Hot Topic

We eat a lot of noodle bowls in our house. Lots of different flavor profiles, but the combination of noodles, protein and some type of sauce is usually a surefire hit with my whole family. It’s also a one-bowl meal, especially if you throw some veggies in. This mama really likes that. This is an… Read more »
