To complement Sabor's post, in the quote that you posted, Geo, the hashtag is "#romartv". This special marking permits to keep track of "trending topics" in Twitter, which permits users to:

1. find things they find interesting

2. get a list of "hot themes", or things that are currently being discussed either worldwide or in their local communities.

The number or pound symbol:

#

is a hashtag. The symbol has a special use on Twitter.
