Has to do w/ trending topics.

"You may notice that some topics come with a number sign "#" before the word or phrase. This is called a "hashtag" and was put there specifically to mark it as a topic so that people can follow the conversation in search. Check out this page (http://support.twitter.com/entries/49309) for more information about hashtags."
