#antihashtaghashtag
To be fair, though, even most of the people who use them on Twitter don't use them with the intent to search other hashtags, they just do it because it's a thing now. So yeah, they technically have utility, but that's not the point.
pwhodges:
But perhaps even using them to indicate an idea, without the utility of searching, is useful in its own right. As I did for the first time only yesterday :)

I think it's sometimes quite a punchy way to make a statement - they've taken on an extra dimension through Twitter which has fed over into other spheres. Rather like some facebook things, such as poking or "fraping" (I hate that word).
Method of Madness:
I've never heard it. What's it mean?
Barmymoo:
Fraping? People using someone else's account to post stuff. Usually someone has left themselves logged in and people either post a stupid status update, or do a more elaborate one where they change lots of details. Jens once spent over an hour changing everything about my profile, including my name and gender, to make me as similar as possible to the title character from Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood or whatever it's called. He posted frequent updates about all the pillaging and raping I was doing. For weeks I kept discovering new pages I'd "liked" - prostitution, murder, theft and so forth. It was quite impressive, I have to say.
