 I don't think #foo/bar is a valid hashtag, so I don't account for those.


Are there standards for hashtags?  I just did some searching and didn't come
up with anything.  Seems like the de facto standard is everything from the
hash mark through white space or ending.  But maybe the beauty of hashtags
is that vagueness...

I've never seen anything and since you don't necessarily search with the
hashtag, i simply assumed it was a way to tag a post for later searching,
and that this defacto standard of using the hashmarks was simply something
for the clients. I think that my argument is bolstered by the fact that on
the twitter site, you can't actually click hashtags in tweets like you can
usernames.
