is a called a hash tag. On Twitter, it's used for what are called trending topics. If you do #weaksauce on twitter, it lights up blue and you click on it. Clicking on it brings up other people's tweets with the same hash tag. It's to see if other people are tweeting about the same topic.

Ex. I failed a test today #lifesucks
Click on it, and you see that 500 + other people are using the same hash tag and tweeting about the same topic of "life sucks".
