well, '#' in its present form is called a 'hashtag' & in this form it was developed on Twitter. Everwhere else you see it is ment for you to check that hashtagged topic as it is trending on twitter. Facebook does not use it, but people like to cross use it it in a tongue in check way, but you to also to check twitter. FYI - Formally '#' was called a 'Pound Key' in reference to it on your phone & 'number' in all other instances like saying #1.
