It's a hashtag.You use it on twitter to identify the topic or keyword/search word of what you tweet. If enough people hashtag the same word, it will start 'trending.'

It doesn't really mean anything on facebook. At least, using a hashtag on facebook posts doesn't make the word searchable the way it is on twitter, but I suppose it adds a certain modern rhetorical punch.
