I have also had an issue on Twitter with something called "hashtag hijacking." Some folks will take a trending hashtag, add it to their own spammy message, and sometimes go so far as to add a second hashtag to piggyback on a party's success. For example, if #laundryalt is the number 2 hashtag for the night as it was last Friday, someone may tweet: "Great deals on white pants at (link) #whitepants #laundryalt" The technique is obviously used to spam an entire room full of Twitter users, show up on Summize searches, etc., but what on earth makes those users think that this is a viable option for getting their message out? In short, I'm sorry about your retweeting nightmare, I'm impressed with your cool headed decision, and I hear ya, man! -Amy Ron,

That is a great word. Your thoughts on what that is and why it is wrong would make a great blog post. As always, I enjoy how you think. Susan Ron,

Brandjacking. That is a great word.

I am not sure if I had committed a "RT Sin" myself! I sometimes lump 2 RTs from 2 different ppl into one tweet! Ron, do you think that was a dumb thing I did? Btw, the original retweeter should have admitted his mistake instead of adding fuel to the fire.
