Hashtagging is the art of taking Hasthtags and using them to write creative and funny tweets. This is often done in a game where one person releases a Hashtag Prompt to Twitter (Example: #BirdCelebrities) and the rest of the players scramble to come up with as many creative answers as possible in a short amount of time (Example: Chris Egg-vans, Rob Crowe, Bunsen and BEAK-er.) The goal is to get as many retweets and likes as you can. It's kind of like the improv game Scene's From A Hat, except you're playing with a couple thousand other people. This has been popularized by the TV Show @midnight. Here are some struggles and triumphs that come with being a Hashtag Warrior.
1. Being on Twitter and constantly clicking the refresh button waiting for them to release the prompt.
2. When the prompt is dirty and/or something that you don't know that much about...
3. The feeling when you write for 10 minutes without anybody noticing and then get a flux of likes and retweets.
4. You know what this means....
It means you've made it!
5. When someone really important or famous likes or retweets you...
6. When your 20 tweets in to a prompt and you have really good ideas. But, you realize that you accidentally misspelled the tag.
7. Realizing that you know A LOT about the prompt's topic.
8. When you gain mutual followers who like and retweet your stuff every night.
9. When they turn their backs and unfollow you.
10. When you think of an answer that's really funny but then you realize that it could get you into a world of trouble if read by the wrong person...
