Sometimes they do, so if so, this will be cool. But the other problems you have to look at: not everyone on Twitter speaks the same language, or even spells stuff in their native language correctly :) I don't know if it will be the 'ultimate' buzz tracker, but at least a good buzz tracker for the demographic that is attracted to Twitter.<br /><br />I'm pretty confident that, if this lives up to hype (which I think there is a good chance that it will - I just remain cautiously hopeful based on Twitter's track record), that Jaiku will step up and add this. From a programming perspective, this actually isn't that hard to do this kind of thing.<br /> I like the hype that this promises, but the skeptic in me realizes that Twitter doesn’t always deliver on the hype.
