It's basically a tag for a certain thing. This thing can be anything you want, but if that tag gets popular it becomes a trending topic on twitter. You would basically use it to denote the subject of the post you make. So if you wanted to make a post about yahoo answers you would make a comment about it and the put #yahooanswers at the end.

THANK YOU for asking that - I've wondered the same thing (and thank YOU Dylan for answering it!)

Oh - and to answer your question (cough) - I don't know! ;o)
