Can someone please explain to me what # means? - Pedofila - 10-01-2012 01:52 AM
I've seen people use the hashtag (is that what it's called?) on facebook, and I understand it has something to do with twitter, but I don't get it...
Why do people randomly use it on facebook? What does it mean?

Its called the hash key and its just a symbol, sometimes people mis-spell stuff and write it accidently at the end, i dunno about twitter i dont use it

people use this on MIRC. Channels they join start with #. Guess this is becoming more popular now a days.

PEOPLE WHO USE IT ON FACEBOOK ARE RETARDED. The # (hashtag) is used on twitter which makes the word(s) that you put after the hash viewable to the world which is how things start trending on twitter, if enough people say one thing it will show up on the trending section. It does absoloutely nothing on facebook and just makes you look like a complete loser.

It is a symbol to address the people with whom they are responding to. It will become widespread so get used to it.
