This raises a thought for me with regards to my own Twitter usage. I find this a great idea and would like to follow it, but the high level of tweets this produces will saturate my stream and block out the other people I'm also interested in (I follow ~30 people and keep the people I follow limited to those I am truly interested in) so I wonder, could Twitter eventually have some sort of "Watch" feature?
Display would be the same style as trending (maybe next to it and re-position the suggested users) where each "watched" user is displayed with a running tally of total tweets and next to that the # of new tweets since I last visited their page? I guess lists would be a temporary solution, but even they get saturated easily.
completely off topic, but maybe some others share the same desire, I figure this is a good topic to use as an example :-)
This is something I really like about Tweetdeck. You could add the Egypt twitter feed as a "column", which would be a list of tweets alongside your main feed, so you can more easily follow both.
If you're on the move a lot, you can sync your columns across computers / phones, but that does involve trusting them with some of your account details.
