While it is hard for me to believe, not all of my students have Twitter (about 1/5th). But when we Tweet about the next debate I told these students they can simply go to TwitterFall which does many things, but among them, it lets you watch a hashtag live if you enter it with a "#" or "@" and the title in the search box. If you are logged into Twitter (for the other students) it also lets you put up your own comments. You can also follow lists and trending topics so it has a bit more than TweetChat which I mentioned in a post earlier today.
