Jim and Aaron S--Thanks for stopping by, looking forward to following how the merger turns out for you guys. The TweetConference was a terrific idea (although I agree with no need for the shower visual). Bryan--I like the simplicity of #RS...let's run with it! All in all I'm interested to see if hashtags take off b/c I've already seen a bit of a backlash from folks not liking to see them within Tweets. I'm hoping Twitter could come up with something to allow us to more easily embed hashtags and make them more aesthetically pleasing to the reader. /kff Aaron F–Thanks for stopping by, very much looking forward to using Hashtags.org more and more.

I also completely agree that we should be doing more with hash tags. Now that I know about http://twemes.com, I plan to use them and follow them more frequently! Best, Aaron (@astrout) Kyle - thanks for the favorable coverage. I also completely agree that we should be doing more with hash tags.

I'm on the Mzinga team and took part in the Twitter experiment yesterday. Colin and Aaron did a good job of summarizing the experience, less the mention of Colin coming up with the idea in the shower (not a visual I need). ;-) I put together a Grazr widget to follow the Tweets, including feeds for #mz, Mzinga and Prospero. I found that was effective at capturing some of the tweets that would have fallen through the cracks if I only followed #mz. Link to the widget is below: http://tinyurl.com/22y2fy Like Bryan, I'm a fan of fewer characters for the Red Sox chatter. Let me know what you come up with! Good summary Kyle.

Glad you are finding the site useful. We have lots of stuff getting queued up for development on hashtags. Saw a tweet about this blog post from @astrout. Glad you are finding the site useful.
