Re: [cmunell] NELL using illegal characters in hashtags

[John Ohno]

Has twitter published a definitive list of legal hashtag characters? Otherwise, this might be viewer-dependent (some viewers assuming the character class is [A-Za-z0-9] and some assuming it's [^ \t\r\n], for instance)

Hello!

I'm pretty sure that NELL is trying to use strings that contain illegal characters as hashtags in its (his? her?) tweets. An example is attached in a screen shot, where I think the intent was to tag something "USPolitician", but it got tagged "U" incorrectly because of some stray periods.

I don't know, but apparently punctuation terminates the hash tag (per
https://support.twitter.com/articles/370610-my-hashtags-or-replies-aren-t-working).

Easy enough to fix. Thanks for noticing, Ian!
