    Can you add hashtags to the tweet? It's a bit pointless if you're only tweeting it to your followers.

    Hopefully from now on they'll have #f1 hashtags. May be a bit trial and error today ;)

    You might as well put the Spanish GP chat thread up then to test it.

    Not me. I did the last one. I like the 'official' mod-led threads but I also think it's good to let various regular members have a go, which is what I was hoping to spark off.

    Don't suppose those with twitter could do us some retweeting over the gp weekend :)

    The RSS tweet feed is most definitely working now, and the #f1 hash-tag seems to have been picked up by all of them which is good <ok>

    According the the stats the twitterfeeds are being clicked on which bring people onto the board. The numbers are low but they "peak" for the topics posted in the hours immediately after the race (obviously).

    Amusingly the Custard pie and champaign ones were the most popular <ok>

    This forum is much better than Autosport or PlanetF1 which seems to have turned into a driver bashing ground. The F1 consensus is strong with this group!

    Batman is Kyle, you should be able to tell by his unique way of bashing Hamilton.
