what does the "#" key mean? - seth j - 01-16-2013 09:30 AM
Hello,
Over the past couple of years, I've seen alot of people (more do than dont) put in hastags "#" at the start of a sentence, what does it actually mean?
I've seen programmes on TV with it on, like, #TheXFactor, etc.
I dont do twitter or facebook or anything like that.
I already knew "#" meant number, as in number 3 - #3.
All this #TheXFactor etc, just doesn't mean anything to me.
#onedirection your the best. means this sentence is for them
Why not just go, @onedirection?

means for those who do twitter. it's pathetic.

That key means number. like #3. It is also called the pound or hash. #TheXFactor is an example of a hashtag which is popular on Twitter and Facebook.

Hash. Hash tag. Used to add context to the comment / sentence so that all comments with same hashtag can be aggregated and found together. #explanation #twitter

it is basically saying that this info is for someone or something or label attached to someone or something for identification or other information.
