What's with all the HASH?
Until recently, HASH was a food, made from Corned Beef. Or another food
made from potatoes (hash browns). Or it was an illegal drug made from cannibis (Pot). Lately I keep hearing about HASH TAGS. While I still dont understand what the heck they are or do, google revealed they are something from Twitter. (I dont use Twitter). Now i was looking at something on ebay and wanted to copy the URL of a page, and saw the word HASH in it. In terms of the internet, what does HASH mean? |

What's with all the HASH?
Jonas,
Lately I keep hearing about HASH TAGS Those get their name from the symbol/character preceeding the actual name/tag, the "#". (though that symbol has several other names, like the "number" symbol, or in music terms "sharp") Now i was looking at something on ebay and wanted to copy the URL of a page, and saw the word HASH in it. There it comes from another use, "to hash". In computer terms it means to derrive a value from all the bits/bytes in a sequence of them to (semi) uniquely identify that sequence of bytes (also see checksum or CRC) Regards, Rudy Wieser -- Origional message: schreef in berichtnieuws ...
