Thanks for the tips so far, all are added to the list
You should really simply track the hashtags #ashtag and #ashcloud (+ derivatives #stranded #putmeup #getmehome etc) to see who is tweeting about it. (A looong list of people if I may say so.)
Hi,
True, just added a little section for the different hashtags now.
twitter hashtag #icerupt is missing from your list
