Re: [model] Modeling a Tweet: Tags

I have long believed there is a substantive difference between what systems
commonly call tags and hashtags, and believe that this is demonstrated in
common practice.

A tag is often applied to a separate entity.

A hashtag is applied to its bearing entity.

The example provided, to my mind, should have the tweet text as the target
for some annotation.

One can get fancier with this and say that each hashtag should be rendered
as a separate annotation on the test with positional selectors describing
the offsets of the hashtag texts in the tweet text, with the motivation to
link these to the full URI expansion of that hashtag (such as the URL of
that hashtag's collection/search page).

For an example of this in the wild, see the app.net API where mentions,
links, hashtags, etc are described by a property of the status update
called "annotations".

A hashtag annotates the tweet.
