Hey guys, I searched all over Twitter for this information, but I can't seem to find anything about it, so here goes.
One of the features of my (soon to be) web service uses a unique hashtag to keep track of how many times a specific tweet has been tweeted on Twitter by other users. This isn't a retweet, this utilizes the status variable (?status =message here) of Twitter to have a Tweet entered into a user's status update text area. My question is, since my service generates a unique hashtag that is appended to a tweet such as "#3D8208AR" in order to count the total tweets having it, is this acceptable practice? I know I can find similar results by searching the tweet as a whole, but if it was hindered in anyway, the results won't be as accurate as I would like them to. If the unique hashtag idea isn't acceptable practice, is there an alternate way of doing it that can be just as reliable?
