What does it mean when you write #________ on Twitter?
Like when you type # followed by a word. I have no idea!

Thanks

It's a hash tag. It's just a way of designating keywords that can be used to search for particular tweets concerning a subject matter, the same way you tag YouTube videos.

It's called a hashtag. It helps to find others that are talking about the same topics as you - and to organize the trending topics. So if you were tweeting about glee you could say:

Last nights #glee episode was awesome!

I use it to emphasize the main topic of my tweet - as above the main topic is glee. Make sense?
