I will give it a shot.
If you use a hash tag in a post it can be tracked. It helps people who care to track when and where people are talking about a subject.
It seems to have started with Twitter as a form of short hand for searching about a subject. #quiltingboard would bring up Tweets related to quilting board.
This link helps explain it. http://www.techforluddites.com/2013/...ou-use-it.html
