Vin Scully asks: What in the world is hashtag?
That's the question, isn't it? Legendary Los Angeles Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully, who makes everything sound better, especially baseball, also can make the word "hashtag" sound like some kind of illegal activity. He was curious about hashtagging, along with a new television channel called "Dog TV" that a satellite company is starting, so he worked both constructs into the broadcast of the Dodgers-San Diego Padres game Wednesday night. Naturally.

I've been familiar with hashtagging for years, first on IRC and then Twitter. However, I had never heard the term "hashtag" until quite recently, but then the term itself is relatively new.
This reminds me of a similar Scullyism:

Hey Vin — it is what you get if you drink the water that was used to boil them Farmer John Dodger Dogs.

Don't worry about it Vin, I am clueless about this social network stuff as well.
At least naming it "Twit" was appropriate..........
To: EveningStar
For all Vin knows, a hashtag is made from hashish.

Looks like I’m in good company; I don’t know, either.
Facer / Twitbook are meaningless to me.

As a SF Giants fan, I don't care for Vin Scully.
As a lifelong baseball fan, I love Vin Scully.
