Twitter: HUH! What is it good for? Hashtags of Course!

Top 10 film hashtags        So like War - a lot of people seem to ask this of  Twitter? What is it good for? I have experimented with Twitter for a while now and I think I have an answer.  It seems from time to time the Twitter collective of users -aka "Twits" to most of us (although I think they prefer "Tweeps"- kind of like "Trekkers" vs "Trekkies") will use their creative juices to come up with some hilarious "Mashups" for movies, songs, books or other media (aka Hashtags). 

       The latest example is around removing one letter from Movies titles to create a new completely different movie title. These tweets have the hashtag #RemoveOneLetterFilms added to them for people to find them. 

Which brings us to this weeks Funny Top Ten List:

Top Ten #RemoveOneLetterFilms  from Twitter.com:

10.Casio Royale
