The term is being used by microbloggers to describe the things the like doing, seeing or having.

The music-related meme "#nowplaying" has moved down the charts one spot to number two.
The hashtag "#welovesiwon" is trending in third place on the charts. Fans of Korean boy band Super Junior are tweeting about band member Choi Si-won (aka Siwon) because he recently joined Twitter and has been following fans that follow him.
