Just reading the posts as they came in was like witnessing an unrepeatable work of performance art — that you can revisit with the right search parameters. (Unrepeatable for a while, I hope, since I'm fresh out of RAMs!) Someone should do some numbers about the response: number of tweets tagged before Midnight Friday, number of unique tweeters, the hourly peaks.

It shouldn't happen too often or (1) it loses it's luster and/or (2) pisses off too many non #ramday aficionado's! Yeah, I agree.

There were a few that I thought people had made up but most seemed genuine. I must go through Summize and catch up with those people who participated that I don't already follow (like I need more people to follow!). I agreed with TheSpottedDuck that this might be done every few months or quarterly (how about on the solstice/equinox?) because I felt like I purged myself of all random information that I wanted to share...for the moment.
