We made hastags for the open web and called it Octothorpes.
Octothorpes is an open protocol that lets you put hashtags and backlinks on your own website to connect with other independent sites across Rings. We're launching a public beta today.

My friend Nik and I have been slowly rolling this out, starting at the last XOXO, and we just opened the public beta after letting a really fun project called Weird Web October used the protocol to connect their sites last month.

This is a great idea! The #blessed tag is more fun than it ever was on Twitter.

Is this basically what Technorati was doing 20 years ago?
