I’m an Angel. Just Look.

Last Friday several of us gathered together for cocktails and some food.  I always insist on group photos. I want memories, damn it. The people in the photo below are folks I have met online through www.twitter.com. I realize that this may sound weird. However I see it as a way to meet people I would have never met otherwise.

The signs in the photo deserve a brief explanation. The cut-out “t” is the symbol for twitter. The “@” sign is placed in front of all online user names. Obviously, SL,UT stands for Salt Lake City, Utah. It also describes those who have loose moral standards and are promiscuous.  I will not identify those people in this photo.

Twitter Friends

Anyhow, back to the picture. Please notice how everyone is cracking up. Well, everyone except me who is innocently posing for a group photo to make freaking memories. I don’t get it. Those giggling devils.

    Okay, now I know what the @ means, but since I’m new to Twitter (and kind of a techno-tard) can someone PLEASE explain to me what the # means before stuff?

    Amberly: # in twitterland stands for hashtags. It makes terms seachable. For example, tagging a tweet with #boobs will make it possible to search all tweets with #boobs in them. However, simply searching for boobs won’t work. Get it now?

    Nah … the # just makes it OBVIOUS that it’s a tag to be searched for … you can still search for “boobs” on Twitter, but hashtags can help group particular discussions together rather than just getting everyone’s random boobs.

    Flahute: Thanks for clarifying. Of course, getting everyone’s random boobs isn’t such a bad thing. :)
