It piqued my interest when I read about it, but I never planned to choose one and share it. However, the other night, the perfect word came to me, and it has helped me to crystallise what I plan to achieve in the coming year. I've blogged about it <a href="http://log.openmonkey.com/post/24247114" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Thanks again! Hi Chris, thanks for sharing this themeword idea.

I went to your post about scraping and the like, at the same time you left that comment. Weird. : ) Oh, and good post! If I only get ONE word, I'll go with #themeword farm.

First we have to manually turn on notifications for each person that follows the hashtags bot. So we may have been slow on turning that on for you and missed your tweet. The other issue is a technical problem I was having with XMPP for the past week. XMPP is the protocol used for jabber clients (i.e. google talk). The hashtags bot is basically a glorified XMPP client. Anyhow, I think I have it tackled with a nasty hack I am too embarrassed to go into detail about. Regardless I have noticed we are not missing tweets anymore like we were last week. The real solution will be to make a hashtags.org jabber server...but that is a little down the line. After all, I have a day job as well. This is just a fun side project right now :) All that to say...sorry! Hopefully we won't missing anything else from you. @Ted:
