Its called a hashtag and its just a specific topic and a way to spread that topic.

It relates the post to a certain topic, and people can see what topics are trending. For example, #Fun will "add" that post to a whole database of the topic fun and when people search #fun they will see that post

[Maddi]

means a trending topic like
Chilling by myself this valentines day #foreveralone

Going to McDonald's #mcdank #fatty

The @ symbol is like tagging some one
Like I you want to tag a celebrity or something

it's called a hash tag. when you tweet you can use it, for example if you are talking about a place you can use the hash tag (i.e #NewYork). it is like a link. if you click on it you can see the recent tweets about "#NewYork".

The "#" Sign means a hashtag, which when you tweet something, you can add a topic like #Bored #Fun #respect etc, & it can trend.

If you go on your Twitter and click the tap with "#" as the picture, you can click 'trends' and it'll show all the topics trending (which are the hashtag topics.)

Hopefuly this helps, a little guide..

@ - mention, type the user that you're trying to mention before the username.
# - hashtag, described above.

Hope I helped
