It groups post on twitter. You can click a hash-tagged topic and it will auto-sort and search all posts with that hash.

Its actually quite brilliant.

When the Iranian green revolution in Iran was happening, you knew in 10 minutes instead of 3 days later like regular media thanks to hash tags. When the meteor hit in Russia, within 30 minutes there were hundreds of posts with amateur video of the event that you could sort by clicking the tag.

Hashtags are the new media.
