What's the practical difference between a tag and a hashtag?
I think that he means to put tags as comments? I have no clue really
I thought he was talking about something like tags used in Jabber or Identi.ca posts. They are inline and begin with a hash, like that:
I think #Arch #Linux is awesome.
The sense escapes me. o_O
I see people doing this on twitter. Functionality-wise they are just tags. the hash ('#') sign in front is to just mark "this is a tag", which is useful for other tools and scripts to parse/categorize/... content
So it isn't really any more useful than just searching a well written description eh?
