Then Mashable has ‘the complete guide‘ to Spymaster. Personally, it’s the type of game I would have probably enjoyed a few years ago, but can’t really justify even trying at the moment – my use of Twitter is mainly for discovering information, sharing information, and building connections with people.
But, that doesn’t mean it’s wrong to take part in Spymaster, or the latest frivolous use of # hashtags.
Whatever you do on Twitter, and however you use it, is entirely down to you, as long as it’s within the Terms and Conditions of the site. That’s the beauty of it – and possibly why so many people find it a bit scary and drop from the site so quickly. Whereas Facebook etc have a defined purpose of connecting with people yu already know, which provides an initial safety blanket, Twitter suggests users and friends, but ultimately you can interact how you like, with who you like, when you like.
So while I won’t be joining you on #spymaster or #whateverthelatestcomedytrendis , and I might hope for better filtering to avoid trending topics when they overwhelm my stream, I’ll never tell you to stop!

I concur Dan. I have no interest in playing games on Twitter myself of any description, nor do I take part in any of the hashtag memes – we each use the network for our own reasons – but as you say, that doesn't mean I don't want *anybody* to have fun with this stuff.
Hashtag use can get a little overwhelming at time – I have a bigger issue with people who #hashtag #every #frickin' #word #in #a #tweet – but it soon passes. It's easy to turn a blind eye, certainly with apps like Seesmic Desktop.
All that said I've yet to notice a single Spymaster tweet in my stream. I guess I'm just very, very lucky. 😉
