🙂 I think we were writing about the Excel question at the same time too. Thanks for the info. My twitter account for memory is @memorytricks and I’ll put that hashtag on my tweets as well. It’ll probably be quick thoughts and bad jokes. ---

It takes me a while to write posts, because I’m a little scatterbrained and switch tasks a lot. 🙂 > [@Dale](#): > > Thanks for the info. My twitter account for memory is @memorytricks and I’ll put that hashtag on my tweets as well. If you use TweetDeck for Twitter, you can save the hashtag as a column in TweetDeck. I’m using Gwibber on Linux, and I’ve saved the hashtag like in the image below. (The search button and hashtag are highlighted in red.) Hashtags turn Twitter into a kind of chatroom for anyone following the hashtag. ---

I just embedded a widget on this page (above) that displays the latest 30 #mnem tweets. I’ll add a link to this thread in the footer menu. ---

At [twitterdownload.net](http://twitterdownload.net) you can download your tweets as html, text or csv. I don’t think it works with hash tags though. I have tweets embedded on my main website and I use them to update the content without having to deploy the whole site. ---

[Twitterdownload.net](http://Twitterdownload.net) sounds interesting. Is the site loading for you? It won’t load for me. It would be useful to download my 8,000+ tweets… 🙂
