WWWhat in the World Wide Web

Does anyone else get as annoyed as I do when people use hashtags outside of The Twitters? #getoffmylawn #noseriouslygetthehelloffmylawn

This blog that I have just now blogged here in my blog: is it successful or unsuccessful? Show your work.

Yes

I will freely admit that I probably have at least the second worst URL in the history of the earth planet.
