They're used as hashtags, which are a way to search for related messages by just searching for the hashtag. On Twitter, if you want to find messages about gay marriage, search for #gaymarriage and you'll find many messages about gay marriage.
In other social media like Facebook, people sometimes use hashtags as a sort of aside, the kind that otherwise would be in parentheses: Common: My car broke down and I was late for work (Worst day ever). Newer use with hashtags: My car broke down and I was late for work. #worstdayever |
