Why people on Facebook are writing numbers before their status?

[Amir Nasir]

These days, i am observing that people (mostly youth) are writing numbers before their status updates on Facebook or Twitter. Like
"#2344
I was looking for someone on valentines day (or any thing like that)"
It is quite unpredictable, Why they are putting numbers before their status updates? Any specifica reason?
I can understand why people use hash tags. This is a twitter trend which is followed on Facebook as well without any reason but using numbers such as #234 or #56 or any random number.
It is quite unpredictable & as far asking them is not a good idea yar. It feels odd.

They usually are numbering the posts they share from numbers 0-1, but now days on Twitter and Instagram they are using hash tags to tag a post. There's no big deal about it though, but most people think hash tags are a waste of time. Im one of them! Hope this helped.
