why do people use hash sign in texting and facebook
Twitter invented the hash tag (#) in 2006. Before this its use was completely unknown and only ever occurred when an Apple Mac user accidentally pressed (alt+3) instead of (shift+3) when trying to use the Pound sign (£).
Because the word bit is a "tag" and the symbol at the start "#" is called a "hash".
The hash sign # is an important community feature on Twitter, much like the @ sign. While @ is used to denote @replies, the # is used to denote #hashtags. A #hashtag is used to mark tweets on a given topic, allowing for that topic to be searched for easily.For example, tweets about WikiAnswers may have a #wikianswers tag, while tweets about the Nintendo Wii use a #wii tag. Most Twitter clients, including the site itself, automatically detect #hashtags: if you click on a tag, a search of that tag will automatically open.
The hash tag symbol is used to highlight or stress the words in use.
