Did you know the Smithsonian magazine did a story on the hashtag?

I sure didn’t.. Here is an excerpt from the story

On August 23, 2007, when technology developer and self-described “hash godfather” Chris Messina suggested using the pound sign as an indicator to group tweets around a common name.

“[H]ow do you feel about using # (pound) for groups. As in #barcamp [msg]?” he tweeted his followers.

The first intentional use of emoticons happened soon after, when Puck, an American satirical magazine, included a small piece on 'Typographical Art' in the issue published on 30 March 1881. The art depicted Joy, Melancholy, Indifference, and Astonishment using only typography. For more on the history of the emoji click here.
