Twitter Development

Got an idea, not really a Plan B as not wanting to monetize it, but I think its a good idea. Basically I want everyone who talks about a certain subject to use a #tag, I will then analyse the tweets and produce something like a word cloud on the most common terms, this week, this month, all time etc.

I have very limited coding ability, but I have a knack of reverse engineering something to work out what certain functions do etc, does anyone have any good resources in getting something like this up and running, or would it be easier just to get a code monkey for a couple of days and write it off against LtdCo profits.

Great idea, you just need a time machine to go back 5 years to when it hadn't been done.

Cheers for the input you twonk, I know its been done before (although not specifically what I am looking at doing), that's why I am not expecting to monetize (day job is more than ticking over nicely to keep me in the lifestyle I have become accustomed to), more of a I wonder if I can do it.
