Since we first started our sister blog, the now-dormant Do What You Do Sports, we wanted to branch out. We're people with a wide variety of tastes, after all, and the sports-only approach seemed too limiting. So often we would find ourselves wanting to write about a movie or a TV show or whatever else, but what were we going to do? The word "sports" was right there in the title of the blog! The only logical recourse was to start a completely new site. Not only will this make coming up with ideas easier on our part, it will also hopefully expand the readership. There should be something for everybody here.
The new blog's title comes from one of our writers, Bobby, who's all the time railing against the horrors of our "hashtag society." Well, Hashtag Society was taken already, but we figured Hashtag World was close enough. Internet culture is an unpredictable thing, and in two years maybe nobody will remember what a hashtag was, but with any luck we will be here to write about its decline. It's right in our wheelhouse.
We are but three graduate students with Ideas and Opinions, and as always, we encourage your comments and feedback. We'd probably even run a post if you submitted it to us, as long as it's reasonable. But mostly we'll just be happy if you read us. Do What You Do garnered literally dozens of page views, and we'd like to improve even on that.
