It means number.

It's a hashtag.
It's a newly popular way of refering to something, often used by teens.
It can also hyperlink to a page or blog that the word after was refering to.
Eg
That match was so good #englandfootball

It's the pound sign on a phone.

It can be used to denote weight in pounds, or its used as a symbol of the word number as in #7, pronounced number seven. It can also mean a sharp note in musical writing. Then there is also this whole twitter hashtag thing but I refuse to twitter on principal. Twit by the way is another word for idiot.

6. Nowadays uses in fb also #home stuff like that. out of all I wonder in which case you are referring this with. So I cannot tell a exact answer.

It is called a hash sign
In the US it means "number" like #4 is number four (but we rarely use it that way in the UK).
It is also musical notation for a sharp note (NOT a flat, as Jenny says!)
