Here is my interview with perhaps the most important driving force at Twitter; the Hashtag.
DCM: Thanks for taking a few moments from your busy day to talk to me Hashtag. I know you are busy because you are the only thing that is always trending on Twitter, albeit in conjunction with something else.
#: It’s my pleasure. You’re right, I’m always visible whenever you check what’s hot on Twitter or what’s trending.
DCM: You’ve been coupled with everything from #armadillos to #Zorro, how do you keep up with all the searches?
#: It’s not easy, but I have some sense of what’s coming up and prepare myself. For instance I’m always busy with #Christmas and #Hanukkah in December. and now there’s a lot of #RaceTogether going on. This prep work allows me to deal with the pop up trenders like #Snowstorm.
DCM: Do you have some favorites?
#: I am proud of the work I do with safety issues like #hurricane and I’m a bit of a ham so I enjoy #Oscars. It was my honor to play a role in elections with #Vote, if only more people would do so.

DCM: How did you get the job at Twitter?
#: I come from a long line of symbols. My grandfather # was known as “Number Sign” many years ago and my father # was the famous Pound Key on telephones. In fact my great-grandfather may also be familiar to you from Tic-Tac-Toe.
DCM: One last thing. I find it interesting that with all you do to help people find things on Twitter there are no results for ##.
#: That’s the way I like it. I’m not the focus, but a search enabler. Never get too big for your breeches!

I remember when it morphed from the number sign to the pound sign and finally, the hashtag. It’ll be something else soon enough. I’m getting too slow to be stay trendy. I’m going to fall behind … OH NO, ANYTHING BUT THAT!!!!
