debz57a52's review against another edition
3.0
I read this book over several weeks, one or two chapters at a time. I have not spent a great deal of time on Twitter, and I only have the most basic understandings of hashtags for Instagram or Facebook, so I was coming in as a newbie. But I felt like I could use to learn something with this micro history, and I'm glad I read it.
The chapters gave some good examples and food for thought about the (sometimes unspoken) rules around using hashtags (like when to use a person's name and when not to) and traced its origins from early time, even before Twitter. Ultimately, I think I'd have to be much more into data mining and optimization to go any deeper, but I really enjoyed learning about the ways the hashtag has basically made history world wide.
