I'm late to this thread but a google search pulled it up as I was wondering if any other translation hashtags are being used. @jillsommer - you've probably noticed by now, but for others, the tag to search for is #xl8 (L instead of 1) which is a space-saving trans-L-8. I tried to put it into practice myself in January this year and it seemed to take off: http://lukespear.co.uk/twitter-translation-xl8-success/ Hi.

For example, what does #fb stand for? I assumed FB, but the tweets don't really make sense in that context. I've tried searching on Google, but no luck.

I found Kristine Wirth's Blog very useful as well :) My only question is, how do you know what a hash mark (#) stands for? Is there a directory? This link (http://hashmarksthespot.com/2009/03/01/how-do-i-know-what-a-hash-tag-stands-for/) attempts to address my question, but it seems outdated. Any suggestions? Thx! :) Great post!

I've wondered what the heck that means myself. :) I am one of those folks who feed their Twitter into Facebook, but have yet to make use of the hash mark. Thanks for clearing that up for me!
