Twitter Doesn't Own the Hashtag

You can't copyright a letter or symbol on the keyboard. Sensing an opening, Facebook is pouncing. From this morning's Wall Street Journal...

"Facebook is working on incorporating the hashtag, one of Twitter's most iconic markers, into its service by using the symbol as a way to group conversations, said people familiar with the matter."

And I believe there's not a thing that Twitter can do about it.
