What does the # sign mean when it is placed in front of any random word or phrase. I don't tweet and I think it has something to do with that.
There... I asked. I'm not afraid to look stupid either.
Explain away. Oh, and have a good weekend.
P.S. any other tweetisms that you think coincide with the # sign should be included as well. :)

I am not a bird so I do not tweet much but I think it is like a subject marker.. like tags on a blog post. Hey this is about #stupidshitIwouldneversayunlessIwasonthebusandhadnothingelsetodo
what waffles said. they are called hashtags. most frequently used to make tweets easily searchable for people looking for particular topics like #Patriots #Mets #awesometeams
Derived from old school unix the hash symbol (#), at the beginning of a line, is used to denote a comment within a given program.
