Perhaps you could have a designated tweeter - possibly the fourth
person in the car.

Yes, we've already encountered that problem. You could do every
10th bird, or every hour, etc. I certainly wouldn't be typing in
species names very often. Small teams probably wouldn't bother.

I also find it's a pretty 'full-on' time! I barely have time to fire
off any pictures, let alone be sending texts and tweets (if I'd taken
up tweeting, which I haven't yet). I guess there is the time while
drivining from place to place, but even then I'm usually scanning the
skies!.
Anyway, I guess it could suit some.

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.

I would think that Feeding a whole lot of RSS to a bunch of
Twitching Tweeters on Twitter could create a Hashtag of any
Twichathon.
But I can't help wondering what the real purpose of a Tweeting
Twichathon would be. Would it be to record the greatest number of
tweetie-bird species or the greatest number of short-and-sweet
Tweets to the greatest number of different Tweeting Twitchers?
The thought of it leaves me all a twitchin' and a twemblin'!
Tweeeeeeet! (Do I hear the call of the near extinct -and fading
fast - Feather-billed Nude-nut?)
