I don't understand hash tags and I don't understand why someone would want them on a shirt. Is this best understood by immersing myself in the twitter culture? I don't get it from the outside. The main place I see hash tags is where networks will display them with a TV show. Aside from that, I don't understand how people come up with them and how they are used other than searching and linking?
For example, #SalmonCat (a TV shirt on the home page) apparently refers to some tv show called Sam and Cat? Googling that reveals it's the 17th episode that aired today. If I loved the show enough, would I go buy a shirt with the hash tag on it? http://hashtagtee.me/products/salmoncat-shirt
I am admittedly not one of the 230 million+ twitter users.
If you've used facebook recently you'd know they've also added hashtags, their main purpose (and the way twitter started using them originally) is to connect your posts to a topic.
I've also seen it used (and have used it myself) as a way to kinda add a punchline to a post that didn't have or need one.
