I am on the Twitter, but have never really used it much, and do not really understand it that well, especially those "hashtags". Occasionally I will go on there to see what some of the people I "follow" are saying from time to time. Today I happened upon the *#**RomneyShambles*<https://twitter.com/#%21/search/%23RomneyShambles>hashtag while checking on something else, and was impressed with how consistently funny many of the posts were (so many of the posts I have seen on other trendy hashtags are just stupid).
Anyway, all of that prompts this: Where do these hashtags come from? Is there some central person at the Twitter who sets them up, or are they some kind of emergent property of the stream? If the latter, shouldn't we see a lot of failed variations - tags that people tried to start but did not attract a critical mass? -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
