Anybody know what the "#(insertphrasehere...)" things mean? - HelpMeRiteNow!!!!!! - 03-09-2014 06:38 PM

On facebook, people keep commenting on stuff with a # and then put a phrase or word after it...

Ex.
(status) Anyone wanna be on my bball team?
(comment1) me!
(comment2) no.
(comment3) im in..
(comment4) SOLID
(comment5) #dreamteam


Like that. What does that mean?

It's a twitter hashtag -___- people put it before stating a feeling/personal status.
Example: "puttng on scarf, cap, and mitts #coldweather Sad"
OR, "made a new team with _______, ________, and ________ #wethebest."

That's a hashtag. See my source for an explanation. Sometimes they are used sarcastically.
