Expain #(phrase) to me
I totally don't get twitter, but I think this has something to do with it. Yes? No? Maybe?
I understand @(name/thing) but not this # sign crap.
I feel so old.

Re: Expain #(phrase) to me
It's a Twitter thing, I think. I have never tweeted a day in my life. The way I've seen it used on FB is as a way of emphasizing something. Like if someone did something really dumb they might say #epicfail as in "categorize it under epic fail". Rather than type out "what I did was really dumb, it was a big failure".
I could be wrong, but that's how I read it. I just did it for the first time b/c I have an IRL friend that does it all the time and it was kind of a joke for her. So - I could be wrong, LOL!
How'd you know your FB post caused this internal drama with me?
Your explination makes complete sense, and I kind of get it, but if wanted to say epic fail why wouldn't I do that, rather than remember the the # key is Shift 3 and ohh, delete my space?

Now we can be equally with it.
It is a twitter thing. You all are right and very smart. You can put #awesome after a good tweet and then somebody can search for #awesome and your tweet would be pulled up that way. There are times when something funny will start to go around on the twitterverse and it's really funny and you can track it by the hash tag. It's hard to explain. A recent one in the hockey world was about hockey player names being made part of a song or song title (Moves like Jagr, instead of Moves like Jagger). So you could search the hash tag and see other funny replies. When one of our hockey players recently died there was one we were all using, so you could quickly and easily see what was being said. During lots of these reality shows you can track what is being said.
Lots of times people use them for really specific things like #whatthehellwasmybossthinking as a haha after a tweet.
Basically it's a way to search. That's the short answer. lol .
My understanding is the same as Megan and Kim's.
If you ARE on twitter, you can search by a hash tag. It's considered something that is "trending." For example, #FTSfriday could be a real hashtag that many people know about. So if you're on twitter and search 'FTSfriday' anyone's tweet who used that hashtag would appear in the search results.
Hashtags can be common or completely obscure. Obviously, the more obscure the tag, the less results will appear in a search.

I "follow" about 100 people, so I'll see the same thing pop up on what they are saying. If I am interested in reading more I can search that hashtag. Think of it like a shorter facebook. So if lots of people on your facebook said something and then #awesomemovie I could search #awesomemovie if I wanted.
Or you can just try random searches of things. The more specific the search, the fewer the results.
