Technically my job title is "Developer Experience Lead" at Uber. This is essentially a developer advocacy role. I do not "enforce the terms and conditions of Uber's proprietary APIs." The role of enforcing our terms belongs to our legal staff; I am merely the messenger. Additionally, like most developer platforms, we require developers to agree to a set of terms and services in order to use the API. This is not unusual, so it seems like a strange aspect of the work I do to highlight. --Factoryjoe (talk) 11 June 2016 —Preceding undated comment added 05:26, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There's now been an article in the New York Times about the origins of the hashtag that might be worth adding as a citation: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/12/fashion/hashtags-a-new-way-for-tweets-cultural-studies.html?pagewanted=all --Factoryjoe (talk) 23:37, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A couple clarifications — I still run Citizen Agency and do independent consulting as time allows. Tara and Ben no longer work for Citizen Agency, either. For more press references, you might check out my personal wiki: http://wiki.factoryjoe.com/Press

Chris Messina (open-source advocate) → Chris Messina (Inventor of the Hashtag) – more important achievement than being an open-source advocate. and also to distinguish him from the actor Chris Messina Editoroftheinterwebz (talk) 11:59, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, already disambiguated from the actor, and it is more standard and dignified to disambiguate by occupation rather than a quirky claim to fame. --Animalparty! (talk) 01:56, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Smithsonian link incorrect?

The article at reference [6] only seems to support the "eavesdropping" comparison: " Hashtags have since been referred to as the "eavesdroppers", "wormholes", "time-machines", and "veins" of the internet.[6]" 76.119.114.192 (talk) 22:15, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
