They're kind of like keywords you can use that link your tweet to others with the same hashtag. For example, during the concert for Sandy relief, there might have been (but I'm not sure) a hashtag such as #sandyrelief. What this means is you could click on it and see what other people thought about it.
I guess the best thing to describe it is a way to organize tweets together that otherwise wouldn't be found together because they don't contain the same text.
This doesn't work for Facebook but the whole Twitter concept is really cool.I'm pretty sure they don't do anything on facebook, but people are just too used to using them that they do it anyway.
