The death of the hashtag! At #tanhf the hashtag was diagnosed with ‘annotanitis’ a terminal illness

At #tanhf the hashtag was diagnosed with ‘annotanitis’ a terminal illness, I’d give it 3 months said the tweet-doctor…

The storied hashtag that grew to prominence in a few short years has now been diagnosed with annotanitis.

This is a fatal illness that grows insiduously within the system. The first signs of annotatis are ‘attributii’ these are parasites that piggyback onto the main tweet body and carry deadly payloads of nams and vilues. Hashtags don’t stand a chance as their only defence is the hash that gets swamped by a deluge of nams and villi.

The scientific construct of this hashtag killer has been discovered and it belongs to the json family and the notation of the annotanitis parasite is:

    # The attributi payload

    attributii = [{“attributii”: {“nam1”: “vilue1”, “nam..n”: “vilue..n”}}]

    # The parasite piggyback

    ”status” “text body host of terminal hashtags”,

    ”annotations”: simplejson.dumps(attributi)

All clients can expect to be bombarded with hordes of these parasites all attached to host tweet bodies. Resistance is futile, and because the attributi are arbitrary and can mutate at any time, selective accomodative wrappers are needed.
