Congratulations to everyone on this. Great example of 'emergent behavior' and collaboration.

Couple of comments.
1. Eddie your script is awesome. 2. Twitter needs to deliver the long promised group functionality. 70% of the tweeds that I get this days are crap :(.

Actually not using the "tracking" feature of Twitter, although that might be cool will have to go take a look.
Basically the idea is not far off from what Eddie did, but in this case no duplicate feeds but the downside is that it's not targeted like Eddie's. In my case I look for a "start" on the keyword e.g. "start*oow" then all tweets from that user from then on will be tagged and collected so if you search for "oow" you'd get everyone being tracked. So no need to use "oow" in the tweet the whole time but again not as directed as you get all the "noise" during the whole time until the user does a "stop*oow"
Kind of weird how two threads start in different direction then come full circle and start to merge.
Update: eventtrack seems to be putting along quite nicely only a few kinks so far that have been worked out.

Jake,
There are a couple of products and efforts in place that are beginning to address group twittering.
Check out http://jaiku.com/ . Jaiku was purchased by Google a few weeks back and seem to be the furthest along at this point with a product.
Thanks guys. It was the first time I used Twitter API to do something (hopefully) useful. I had fun doing it, which proves that I'm a geek.
I also enjoyed the conversation/collaboration among Jake, Craig and Dennis on Facebook and Twitter. Hopefully this is just the start and an indication of more useful things to come.

Taylor: I blogged about Jaiku briefly after its acquisition. Twitter has first-mover status, so Jaiku is a second for me now. Plus, I don't see enough of a value-add to jump to it. The link you sent looks promising. I'll tag it for reading later.
