Why are people putting the pound sign # before phrases on Facebook statuses? - jessicawatkins00 - 11-10-2012 12:15 AM

I know it's a hash tag on Twitter, but these people aren't connected to a Twitter account and the sign isn't any kind of tag on Facebook. So what does it mean?

Good question, I noticed that to. I also don't have a clue why people are doing this?!
