I've been thinking recently that I spend a lot of time wasting time.  Facebook, browsing, video games, etc. all seem to take away time that people 50 years ago would have had for other things.  I'm sure they had their own unproductive vices, and it could be argued that these things listed above all have certain benefits, but often they feel unproductive.  So anyway, I was in the shower thinking that having thinking time in the shower is a good thing, when it occurred to me that you could use twitter to learn a language quite easily.

The twitter word game would involve picking a word a day (maybe from I Speak Japanese, or from your own choice) and come up with as many genuine tweets as you can using that word, in one day.  By genuine tweets, I mean the kind of thing people would tweet about in their own language - what they did or saw, their thoughts, links, whatever.

I'm sure someone's thought of this before, but I'm going to give it a shot.  Probably need a hashtag too, but I'll think of that later.
