What does this mean #? twitter? #?

[SinCere]

They put # before a word that sums things up...I'm all lost because I don't use twitter but I see people on facebook doing this.

It's a trending topic. People put a # before followfriday or something, and it shows up on the side of twitter. For example:

#nowplaying Southern Girl- Amos Lee

It's just a thing to put in a tweet. Don't worry about it.

It is known as a 'hash tag' - and you simply put it before a topic / phrase to emphasise it for the purposes of Twitter.

[Tech Doctor]

its a reference link but its called a HASHtag to link an event or place on what your talking about

example i was talking about Orange County Japan Fair so i added #OC #Japan

hope that helps you

i think they put it there before the topic so like for example #Cookies
