What does "#" mean on Twitter? - Ally - 10-02-2012 11:39 PM Like do you put it there just to tell people how you feel? For instance, #happy? Does it serve as a smiley? - Mercuri - 10-02-2012 11:47 PM It's a tag. Basically you can search for tags. It's like a way to index tweets. - man32 - 10-02-2012 11:47 PM no it does not serve as a smiley - David P - 10-02-2012 11:47 PM Because the ascii value for # is lower than numbers and letters, it ensures that these names are listed first. - Coяαl♥ - 10-02-2012 11:47 PM somekind of tag
