Other than commas and periods
In the age of the internet
The most-used punctuation might be the "#"
It's a grid
boxes moments into hashtags
It's a patch
adds context to the world
From numbers to trending topics
It’s the entry point to viral stories—
And the soundbite of our time.
But at 798, the “#” is no longer just a trend
It’s become something else—
a new window
a new way of seeing
a new mapa new tool for storytelling
