Is this a new Facebook status trend? - ImJusASophomore - 11-10-2012 12:32 AM
I have noticed that some of my friends on facebook post a status, and then at the end of the status, they use a # with a word that describes the status. What exactly is this?

It's a twitter thing. So they probably have twitter and are too cool they put it on fb

This is called a hashtag. This is most useful on twitter and you might see this on facebook when people have a twitter account connected. They are used so that a larger audience of people interested in similar things can see your tweet. For example if i just went to the movies and tweeted "just saw #toystory3 it was a #greatmovie" if any searches toy story 3 or great movie they will see that tweet. If you want more information here is a web page that does a great job of explaining it http://www.twitip.com/tweet-your-message-to-a-larger-audience-with-hashtags/. Hope i Helped!

It's a thing from twitter. Trending topics/hashtag. Like, on twitter it would say #thingsihate, and so if someone posts a status saying "Ugh, mom is being such a jerk right now. #thingsihate" that's basically it. It's just people that don't realize Twitter should stay on Twitter, and Facebook on Facebook.
