As a foot note... 

Andrew Vincent  @Waves05 suggested we should also herald the the 140 character heroes who don't rely on links to get retweeted. They are the communicators!  I think this is a good point and next year I would like to run a category of the best single tweet, but the only way this will work though is by you favouriting the ones you like.  So get favouriting for next years competition and don't forget to use the #mrx hash tag in all your future tweets to ensure your tweets can be included in next years competition.
