The # is a hash tag. The words that come after it are a theme or group that the post, or whatever it is, can be grouped under. Things with the same and similar hash tags are grouped together.
eg. "#music" would be about music.

If you were to search on #MyWorld2 it would find all posts in that tag.
Hence the reason for the # to create tags.
