Clearly I have missed hashtaggate. Here's my take:

Posted by amanda Dec 9 '09, 15:56

When I want to find something on ticker talk, I search for it. Like, if I have a question about a router I search for "kilbo" or "netgear" or "wireless."

how would a hashtag make this process any different?

- If I understand correctly, Mop presented logically and clearly and was then attacked. -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 9, 16:22 15
  - Why are you posting in the third person? (nm) - musubi Dec 9, 16:26 1

    - Me and Bery are cool. I sent him an e-mail with a well reasoned proposal. - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 9, 16:32 1
      - asterisks wouldn't be searchable. Use faves for future reference; it has pagination now. - Beryllium Dec 9, 16:39
  - #logic #me #genius #adoration Until Bery does this, I am going to force the issue! -- nm - Mop si Dec 9, 16:24 7
    - I used the hashtags to prove a point. -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 9, 16:26 6
      - What point? other than a) you could be obnoxious and b) they look like garbage on a message board? -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 9, 16:29
      - Other than to annoy some people, what was the point? - musubi Dec 9, 16:28 4
        
        Some posts can really stand to be tagged for later reference. -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 9, 16:34 3
        
        How did hashtags prove that point? I don't think anyone disagreed with that. - musubi Dec 9, 16:38 1
        
        also, you don't need a hashtag. You just need a ... word. -- nm - Reagen Dec 9, 16:40

You could - I don't know - filter out all posts about Tiger Woods? -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 9, 16:05 17
- Of course, you'd have to click on all the Tiger Woods posts and tag them first to do that. Or save Bery and yourself some work and just ignore them. - musubi Dec 9, 16:08 16
  - Dr. S. Talk by default filters to "last 2 weeks". -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 9, 16:18
  - I think that's the other thing. How much time and effort would this save Mop a week? Five minutes? Maybe ten? - TFox Dec 9, 16:10 14
    - If it keeps amanda from seeing posts about extra-marital sex, then my job is done. It was all worth it. -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 9, 16:11 13
      - The point being: it *wouldn't* prevent mandy from seeing them though. - musubi Dec 9, 16:17 11
        
        I'm confused. When I tag a post NSFW, doesn't it show up NSFW for everyone? -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 9, 16:19 10
        
        So you want to tag and define not your ST, but my ST too? nubby please. just stop. -- nm - TFox Dec 9, 16:21 9
        
        pssst. that's not nubby. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 16:24 2
        
        pssst. expression. -- nm - TFox Dec 9, 16:25 1
        
        that needs a tag. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 16:27
        
        Who tagged my post about a car crash as NSFW earlier this week? It wasn't me. -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 9, 16:21 5
        
        So if I search for say "Joke" tags, I get every post that *anyone* tagged as a joke? - musubi Dec 9, 16:25
        
        yes, but see, NSFW has a purpose. #green, #February, and #ballsack does not. -- nm - TFox Dec 9, 16:23 2
        
        Note to Bery: Please don't include #green, #February, and #ballsack as pre-defined tags. -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 9, 16:24 1
        
        I don't know. #ballsack would probably be pretty useful. nm - ralph wiggum Dec 9, 16:40
        
        It was ME! *closes elevator door* -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 16:22
      - poor jack. -- nm - b. Dec 9, 16:15
By allowing reader customizable tags, *I* could decide how to filter future searches. - musubi Dec 9, 16:02 3
- Personally, I wouldn't want to get ST too deep into individual user-level settings. - TFox Dec 9, 16:04
- and no one wants to go back and tag 800,000 posts. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 16:04 1
