If you don't tweet, go sign up, then look in the right sidebar of your profile page under 'Trending Topics'. A hashtag is simply using the # symbol in front of any word to turn it into a tag. It will turn that tag into a link, and everyone else can click on it and be taken to a list of everyone else who's used that tag for their tweet.
Trending topics are when everyone uses a certain tag in their tweet and twitter can track how often something is being talked about.
Today, the top trending topic for awhile, was #oneletteroffmovies, resulting in tons of hilarious tweets. The idea was to take the title of a movie and replace part of the title with another word that would turn the title into something funny. At best, you accomplish this by changing only one letter.
Here are a list of my favorites (so far) from the gig:
