I've been wondering about the #name tweets I've been seeing on Twitter. Turns out it's a way to self-categorize your tweets by topic for later retrieval or for groupings by topic. See hashtags.org's About page on pbwiki, especially the pointers at the bottom of the page.

Thanks to Christopher Carfi for the info.
