Explanation:
What do you mean by Use humorous tweets?
You can post humorous tweets.  If you find a funny article then, feel free to post it. However, I would ask that the articles relate to social media/internet marketing/ or Drupal.
What do you mean by  " Parody something in pop culture"?
So, this could be a parody of something in pop culture that is also funny: http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrys/2329243533/.  It's the drupal icon, but it's made of bacon.
What do you mean by  “Ask open-ended questions about best practices”?
Sure, so when you ask open ended questions, they will hopefully get a response. so, "what's your favorite Drupal module?" . "What is the first thing you do when you evaluate a website's SEO?"
What one should mean by "Promote a cause your company supports"?
Drupal companies support drupal development, except that what other points they are trying to promote. They will be Drupal, SEO, Internet Marketing, Web Development, Paid search, Google Products, Android operating system, Web design, Conversion Optimization, Landing Page Optimization.
What is the role of Hashtag (#) ?
Twitter messages don’t have a field where you can categorize them. So people have created the hashtag—which is just the # symbol followed by a term describing or naming the topic—that you add to a post as a way of saying, “This message is about the same thing as other messages from other people who include the same hashtag.” Then, when somebody searches for that hashtag, they’ll get all of the related messages.
For instance, let’s say you post, “Voted sixty times in tonight’s showdown. #AmericanIdol.” Your message would then be part of Twitter search results for “#AmericanIdol,” and if enough people use the same hashtag at once, the term will appear in Twitter’s Trending Topics.
Companies often use hashtags as part of a product launch (like #FordFiesta), and conferences and events frequently have hashtags associated with them (like #TED) what is trending topics in twitter ?

What is Trending Topics ?
On the right side of your screen and on the Twitter search page, you’ll see ten Trending Topics, which are the most-mentioned terms on Twitter at that moment. The topics update continually, reflecting the real-time nature of Twitter and true shifts in what people are paying attention to. A key feature of Twitter, Trending Topics aggregate many tweets at once and often break news ahead of the mainstream media.
