Will give Tweetscan a look tonight when away from real job (where does real and unreal crossover though!). BTW - the follow hashtags caught me out too.

In fact people don’t even need to include the # this way as it’s unlikely the words will appear in tweets naturally.

I'm stuck in some geeky problems about how to pull any 140s that people might right into a single Twitter feed, a bit like @overheard does. hashtags seems a bit of clumsy way of doing it and doesn't make the best of the Twitter everywhere/anywhere read/write element that I'm trying to use ie. I write something as part of the game and everyone gets it etc. @waugaman’s already mentioned my own experiment at http://www.english140.com.

I ended up in a conversation with another person about how it might or might not work and I think that kinda killed it on this occasion. That conversation was a useful one to have though. Sometimes spontaneity takes a lot of planning. An observation from today's <a href="http://twitter.com/jennybee/statuses/777884695" rel="nofollow">obscure word of the day game</a>: You have to be following @hashtags for your tweets to show up on hashtags.org and it turns out nobody is! Why can't these things be simple?! I'll try and keep track of the tweets manually so points can be allocated anyway. I think the story burnt out quickly because it was being thought about too much.
