Hashtags (#) are a way of keeping track of who's talking about what on Twitter.
If you check your Twitter page, you'll notice trending topics on the right side. Many of these carry a hashtag in front so that discussions can be culled and sorted in a search. While Twitter's search will pick up nearly every mention of a word these days, a hashtag will show you not just who happens to mention a word, but who's specifically trying to add to a topic.
#iranelection has been one of the most popular trending topics for the last two weeks - impressive, since normally the most popular topics change dozens of times a day.

How can you use #hashtags to your advantage?
Check the trending topics, follow any legitimate sounding links your fellow tweeters give. Chances are good that you'll find interesting stories, information and people that you can tell your forum friends about.
Now, turn it around, and use the AddThis (Mark/Share Discussion) button at the bottom of your message frame to share an interesting discussion you're having in your forum with your fellow twitterers.
Use hashtags, and you're increasing the chances that you'll attract the attention of others from all over the world that are interested in that subject.
