This is pretty funny, and also why programs like TweetDeck should support multiple Twitter Accounts. If multiple people use your computer, always double check you are on your account

Avid and successful twitter users use hashtags to categorize their tweets. Putting a hashmark or pound sign (#) and then a keyword which relates to your tweet, will allow you and others to search for that later. This is good when multiple users are tweeting about the same subject.

Let’s say for instance that you wanted all of your tweets and re-tweets about The Big Tweet (TBT) to be indexed for you and others in the future. Anytime you posted something about The Big Tweet you would want to include “#TBT” in your tweet. Others following The Big Tweet will do the same, creating an easy way to find tweets relating to The Big Tweet by including the same hashtag.

	@gmpdx: Re: sexting. Sure,it’s child porn. So is distributing pics of your kid naked in the bath. There were prosecutions for that a few years back.
This is definitely a growing controversy these days. High School kids sending provocative and sometimes nude pictures of themselves to others. Some students have even seen Child Pornography charges brought against them. If the picutres are willfully taken, distributed and sent by their subject, should this be a crime? What do you think?
