TicTacGo v.0.1 released

Summary TicTacGo helps you search Twitter effortlessly by converting hashtags you encounter in tweets into clickable search links.

I've released a handy Firefox script for Greasemonkey entitled TicTacGo. It converts hashtags in tweets into searchable links that you can click. Hashtags are Twitter's ubiquitous user-generated semantics system, wherein people mark interesting parts of their Tweets by prefixing them with the hash sign, #. Each link generated by TicTacGo takes you to the Twitter search page for that hashtag. For example, the #awesome hashtag would be converted into a link that takes you to Twitter search results for #awesome.

You can read more info at the script page, or read about other projects I'm working on. Feedback is welcome!

Thanks to Ashish Tonse for reminding me about how annoying it was that Twitter doesn't have this. Frustration is the mother of invention just as much as necessity, it seems!
