I was just watching Heroes - Chapter Seven: "Eris Quod Sum and I thought how cool it would be if I could turn on the Twitter hashtag (what is a hashtag?) #heroes so that it appeared on the television screen; seeing what other Twitterers are thinking about the show in real-time.
Cast members Greg Grunberg (greggrunberg) and Brea Grant (breagrant) are on Twitter.

I've been using TweetDeck to monitor various searches. It's pretty cool.

Love the idea of visualizing hashtag chatter on-screen. The same type of use would have been great during things like presidential debates or town halls.
Do you think that piece of technology falls under the responsibility of the cable provider? Or is it something that could be hacked in as an add-on by the user?
BTW, if you ever come across a hashtag you're not familiar with, you can look up the definition on What the Hashtag.

I meant to say "Howdy Viddler", but I guess "Howdy Twitter" is more relevant to the topic. :P
