I’ve tried using both your solution (@twitcrit) and Stowe Boyd’s solution (#*) in the same post, trying to adhere to both standards. Considering the experimental nature of both your tests, and your mutual dependence upon Twitterfeed, it seemed to work well.

Ok, I see the feed. Time permitting, tomorrow I’ll have a crack at doing something useful with it…

I like the hashtag implementation, but also like the use of tagspaces which saves on some characters and also lets you sort on what kind of review, or what is being reviewed. By this I mean

REV:MOVIE I am Legend rocked. A bit slow at points, but Will Smith carried the movie on his own soulders

REV:TV The Reaper is pretty much DOA – was hopeful for some inspired comedy, and there are glimmers, but not brightly

Just an additional thought to consider…

I’ve done this for reviews of places to eat in Ireland.
More as an attempt to build an automated posting system than anything else.

I used Yahoo Pipes to turn the protected feeds into unprotected feeds. Then I combined the Subject heading and first line of emails to a GMail account with a feed of the @Eateries twitter stream.

See http://eateries.tumblr.com/post/3390574 for as much detail as I remember. It was sometime last year, I’m afraid.

The only issue with using #twitcric is that each user must follow @hashtags for their result to get added.

But I like the idea of tagging with hashtags the best.

If you want to follow the replies on twitter:

1. Public updates will have to be trawled frequently (can’t go over the api limit, but you might be able to get permission from twitter) for the @twitcrit word, or
2. You can ask users to add themselves as followers to the twitcrit account and only trawl those feeds.
3. Either way these will then have to be updated back into the twitcrit account, if you want them to be seen in one place (separate from blog, tumblr, etc).

I’m doing something similar at http://www.HelpWorldClimate.com (and other sites), but taking posts from more than just twitter.

I’m working (like, now, in another window) on something like this for ReportingOn – it involves a little bit of code, but mostly of the copy-paste variety, using the Twitter API. When it’s done, I’ll post the most clear instructions I can and the source code.

Check out what foamee.com does compared to hoosgot.com – two different methods. What I’m trying is much closer to foamee.

Why not use a #hashtag in Twitter? Then all #reviews would show at #hastags (www.hashtags.org), and that service updates frequently. Each #hashtag gets its own RSS feed, so people could subscribe to #reviews, #movies, or #I+am+Legend. See http://www.hashtags.org/tag/reviews/.
