The number symbol (#) is a symbol used to mark a hashtag in twitter.

The use of a hashtag in facebook could mean one of two things:
1) they are using an app to post across multiple networks eg. Twitter, Facebook, Yahoo etc.
2) they cant tell the difference between facebook and twitter

A good way to check is to count the number of characters in the status
<140 could be 1 or 2
about 140 it was most likely optimised for twitter and is probably 1
>140 can't be posted to twitter and is almost definitely 2

On Twitter, it's called a hashtag when you put a pound sign in front of a one-word phrase.
