1. Use TweetChat to follow Twitter hashtag conversations live! From the TweetChat website, log in using your Twitter login information. Enter the hashtag you are following and from there it works like instant messaging. You can highlight your favorite people and block the annoying ones in the hashtag conversation. A pause button lets you stop the auto-refresh and leisurely read if tweets are coming in too quickly.
