#savebullyinguk
I've spent my day largely ignoring Twitter and the news, so when I spotted the hashtag "#savebullinguk", my first thought was the the tweeter in question was actually starting a tag to preserve the actions that make many people's lives hell. It was only after researching the topic in further context that I realised that Bullying UK was under threat unless further donations can be acquired to keep the service running. (BTW: Please support.)
The question is this: Should we think more before starting hashtags? Surely the context of each needs to be understandable to help it spread, and especially so to someone who isn't well versed on the subject. And if the hashtag can be misconstrued from the outset, does this damage the effectivity?
