Hashtags are a way of tracking trends on Twitter. Adding a word with a hashtag in front of it - for instance, #WikiAnswers - adds that "tweet" to a list of "tweets" with the same hashtags. That way they can be tracked and used for statistics about a trendy topic.
You use hashtags on Twitter to help you find topics you are interested in and to help other people find your tweets if they are interested in the same topics as you.
For example if you are interested in seeing tweets about the Environment, you would search on #environment.
If you are publishing your own tweets about the environment you would add #environment to your tweets.
A hash (#) was originally used as an abbreviation of the word "number". The twitter hash tag is only in existence because the designer of twitter wanted a function that would show what words/phrases are the most used at any chosen time, it is a lot easier to code this function when using a tag (a letter or symbol that adds that word or phrase to the list), the only reason the hash key was used for this function is because it is not commonly used in sentences and hash tag flows better than backslash tag.
