John,
Is drivining
a twitcher's form of divining
where in a few words
you go searching for birds
gone to ground in the evining?
Regards, Laurie.

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.
Cheers,

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?)
