In 2007, Chris Messina launched the “hashtag” slogan on the Twitter platform, and since then the world of communication platforms has changed with the adoption of this slogan around the world. But in the past few hours, Elon Musk removed the blue verification mark from the Messina account, which prompted the latter to make a shocking decision to completely abandon Twitter.
Over the years, Messina has used Twitter to share his thoughts and ideas and inspire millions around the world, but that intimate connection has changed with what has happened in recent weeks. Twitter has seen a lot of changes recently, as the company updated its posting policies, and Chris Messina announced, via a tweet, that he is abandoning the Twitter platform and blocking his own account, as he said: “My account is no longer verified .. Not because I care, I am not Originally interested, but this is as good a time as any time to say goodbye, and thanks for all the hashtags.
Messina had brought up the idea in a tweet to him on Twitter in 2007, but Twitter told him that it was a "rude" idea and that she would never use it, but he insisted and the hashtag was already used on the site in August 2007 during a fire accident in San Diego. Later, in 2009, Twitter added an option to search for the “hashtag,” and Instagram adopted the tag in 2010.
