My immediate reaction to "slashtag" was: "oh does this somehow tie into searching the slashdot archives?"

- jsrfded 16y agoGiven the CLI syntax we're pushing in the search box, we were looking for a novel way to describe it. "Hashtag" caught on pretty well on twitter, so we figured with the / modifier in front of what are essentially category tags, "slash tag" would be pretty descriptive. It strikes some people as being a cheesy marketing term. Not sure what to do about that though.
- sp4rki 16y agoYou could leverage the popularity of hashtags, since people already use them and feel comfortable with them. IMO I'd rather slash than tag though.
