Hashtag
Hashtags are a #word or #PhaseWithoutSpaces prefixed with a hash symnbol (also known as a number or pound sign), used to tag messages, images and videos, making them searchable. Someone who wants to locate tweets related to Encyclopedia Dramatica could search for the #EncyclopediaDramatica hashtag. Their use was popularized on Twitter, a microblogging service, and spread to Facebook and other social networks.
Popular trends can be identified when enough people use a particular hashtag, a process known as trending. For example, when the media got word of a racist tweet by public relations executive Justine Sacco, news spread fast and the hashtag #HasJustineLandedYet was trending within hours.

Hashtag baby
Hashtag Jamerson is the name of a baby girl who's parents spend too much time on the internet. Either that or they hate their child so much that an abortion wasn't good enough. Until their child is old enough to go for a new high score, expect that her parents will continue profiting from the publicity as they continue neglecting their child, leaving her alone in a crib while they play Farmville.
