Why Invent the Hashtag | #Hashtag Inventor Chris Messina

Chris shares his experiences and lessons from inventing the hashtag and giving it away for free and public use, including the meaning of success, how he pioneered the concept of "unconference" events and why the more interesting question than "how did you invent the hashtag?" is actually, "why did you invent the hashtag?"

Chris Messina has worked for over a decade on social technology, product and experience design as well as changing the world by giving away several of his inventions, including the hashtag. Chris helped organize the movement that kickstarted Mozilla Firefox to 100 million downloads back in 2004 before developing the concept of "unconference" events and opening the first dedicated co-working space in 2006. Since then, Chris has been a Developer Advocate at Google, a Developer Experience Lead at Uber and recently co-founded the screen-sharing video chat app, Squad (formerly known as Molly), in 2018.
