What days do you think we should celebrate that we don’t? Well one of them was the day we got the big cheese himself, Jeff Dwoskin aka @bigmacher , who runs the Hashtag Roundup app with his wife Robyn, to come and co-host a frikkin hashtag game…
[The Story So Far: Every Wednesday at 12 noon South African time [6 am EDT] an inspired and growing number of brilliant, creative and absolutely fun people from all around the world take part in what is called a Hashtag game. @AFrikkinHashtag [say it out loud] is South Africa’s #1 Hashtag game and is always a lot of fun. The F.L.O.P. [or Fish List Of Prizeworthyness] is the collection of some of the best tweets from each week’s game and is what all seriously com edic Hashtaggers aspire to…]
So with our blue-tick-endorsed celebrity ‘boss’ on board…
It was time to send out some invites and examples, to, you know, vibe the vibe…
