Why do people use the numeral sign while posting on facebook and twitter etc? - Alexis - 11-09-2012 09:29 PM
I see people randomly using the numeral sign # next to a post. Also, in the memos for my work at the title of things they would have a # sign at the end such as "September Guidelines #". So why do ppl throw that # in??

it's a hashtag. basically when you put a hashtag next to something it's a keyword in whatever you're posting. so if someone makes a search with those keywords your post will pop up
