It's to tag something automatically. So if you want to mention the world cup you can say #worldcup and twitter or whatever will automatically tag it as a world cup related post. Then when other people look for world cup related topics, your post will come up.

That's not a pound sign, but something "tweeps" call a "hashtag". I think it makes tweets with the same topic automatically searchable and countable - like when an earthquake happens, 2 minutes later some website will show that 541.203 tweets about earthquake have been sent.
A poundsign looks like a capital L with a "=" through it (from the latin word for pound "Libra" ) |
