Can someone explain the obsession with hash-tags?

It is bad enough that texting abberviations (lol, roflmao, wtf...etc.) is becoming more and more accepted as proper grammar, now folks are using twitter-based experssions laden with hash-tags.

Instead of writing "I'm like the new Porsche Cayman" they are writing: "#NewCayman #veryimpressed."

I can kind of understand why folks appreviate words - but adding ##### all over the place? How does that make a sentence more readable? #stupid. #wasteoftime #dontunderstand.

Might as well start writing things in Cobol or Javascript or straight up HTML code.

Am I missing something here? What's next? Communicating in bleeps and other computer noises?

Getting off my soapbox,
-Z-man.
