Bob, I'm not sure if your posting is really asking what is the point of
Tweeting during a twitchathon, or if you just love alliteration a lot.
There are a couple of reasons I can think of for doing it. One is for the fun
of it, as an experiment to see if there's any use in it, the other is to
attempt to turn twitchathons into a spectator sport.
Sponsors might be more prepared to offer sponsorship if they can actually
follow the race, and more people might feel inclined to enter a team if they
followed last year's race. Of course, I can see that many teams wouldn't want
the others to know what they're doing or how they're going, so that's a problem.
