Ever have a bad autocorrect moment? You meant to type, "Hey that felt a little mean" and autocorrect changes it to "You stupid cow, you ruined my life." Happens to all of us. Hopefully we catch most of them before we hit send, but with the busyness and rush of life a lot of them escape our attention before it's too late. But the Internet remembers... and so we decided to have some fun with that [...]
Roses are red Violets are blue I poemed some Hashtags AND SO. DID. YOU. That's right - we decided to dig into the poetic nature of the @AfrikkinHashtag community and you guys pitched up [and some surprise guests and visitors who we hope will be back!] - had a few of the Unnamed Community [my secret back room of hashtag elves who appear every Wednesday and secretly make sure that the game runs to perfection [...]
Another Wednesday, another Hashtag game... well hopefully not just another hashtag game - we continue to do everything we can to make @AFrikkinHashtag stand out as a game that has that little bit of its own flavour and it's all of you that make that possible. This week my co-host, the incredible Kathleen Adams aka @KattFunny [and i'm not just saying that - take five minutes and go and read her incredible story of recovery [...]
When you die, what obituary are you hoping to receive? Taking a leaf out of Parks and Rec's Tom Haverford's "Treat Yo'self" day and with inspiration from my wife, tbV [aka The Beautiful Val] we came up with this week's game tag of #ObitYourself and as always everyone came to the party. Super stoked to have Hashtag game legend Lisa Taylor aka @mseric co-hosting with me and she was an amazing co-host: Her Twitterer bio [...]
This week it was Nisha Nazim aka @NishaNazim all the way from India who agreed to co-host my game... "Known to be a music junkie with a passion for singing. Bookish and I always follow my gut instinct. Just another Grammar Enthusiast who loves soccer... " Although i also found out she has a You Tube channel you should all take a look at... And once again, with a growing team calling themselves The Unnamed Ones and [...]
Is a horoscope something that affects your life? This week i had the alien-shaped [in his avatar pic at least] beautifully named Fungus the Bogeyman aka @bigstevie1967 join me as co-host to see... and what fun we had... My co-host this week was @bigstevie1967 aka Fungus the Bogeyman, the name of a well known Raymond Briggs character - whereas Stevie is just a character ! He's a total sports nut with a primary interest in football [...]
So i've been having a few website issues but holding middle fingers that it's sorted now and so we can finally do a catch up on last week's Hashtagging game which was a lot of crazy fun as we got a little weird and complimentary... ish. This week i had the incredible Katie aka @_Katiebyy69 co-hosting with me for the first time and she brought the party. In addition to her we now have a growing crew [...]
Such as a Twit of Tweeters or a Farce of Facebookers? THIS WEEK WE COMPLETELY DOMINATED! Let's just get that out of the way... Number 1 in the USA, in Canada, in the UK, number two in Australia [only cos World Cup cricket was happening] and finally, the second time making it on to the SA trend charts we went right to the top and went #1 in SA as well. South Africa's Top Trending Hashtagging [...]
Last week we had a Hashtag game crew of note. i invited a number of past co-hosts and regulars to join me in the mix and be part of the informal promoting of the game and they really rocked up in fine fashion and helped catapult the game into the stratosphere. And it really did fly. #3 hashtag USA #PunYourJob @afrikkinhashtag @BrettFishA — Hashtag Roundup (@HashtagRoundup) March 23, 2016 And for the second time ever [...]
Last week my internets was waging war on me and so i was unable to publish the F.L.O.P. list and so apologies for all of you whose brief but significant moment of Twitterdom fame was snuffed out. Today's game has a whole legendary crew of secret unofficial co-hosts helping me and so it should be a particularly fun and groan-worthy [on porpoise] one. But last week's game results are in and once again you brought [...]
