Best of #hashtagstory 2009

2009 is over. In a couple of days all traces of our last year’s activity will disappear from Twitter search results. Everybody wants to shorten a year to a couple of sentences. Same with me. And I’ll naturally do it using #hashtagstory.

As I described in a kick-off post, hashtagstories were intended to bring fiction to a new level of decoding, as every hashtag means something different for a person which is using it. One line of text means much more than just one line of text. But it took me long months to realize that there is something more about hashtagstories than just that. Those stories told with a sequence of Twitter hashtags are unexpectedly good way to describe the current state of mind of Twitterverse. In a long run they will become a literary memoir of Twitter.

So here are the best (in my opinion) hashtagstories written in 2009. Decode your own story and #enjoy »»»
