• @34thAC Confused on your hashtags. is #acworldseries preferred over #acwscascais ? in reply to 34thAC #
• Seems practicing against the best sailors in the #EXSS works RT @34thAC: @EmiratesTeamNZ crushes first practice race by over a minute! #ACWS #
• It doesn't matter if #exss or #acws did ok today. Both were up against England v Wales in the rugby = who cares. #
• Not too sure about this #ACWSCascais speed trial thing so far 1 at a time is not that exciting. None of the graphics either. #
• #EXSS feed is showing 333 viewers (nice transparency) . Wonder what the #ACWSCascais number is. #
• The #ACWSCascais Speed trial would be better with some F1 style timing and scoring. Would be good to see time versus previous and best… #
• @Geo_Gephart thanks for the #ff – glad you enjoy the tweets. in reply to Geo_Gephart #

• Seems #acws is an accepted hashtag for the Americas cup world series. We believe It's going to get busy in social media land though… #
• @JimOToole really? I wonder how many of the 2 million viewers could name the sponsor. Pandering to the lowest level? in reply to JimOToole #
• How many Americas cup helms understand the difference between their Facebook account and their (perhaps yet to be created) fan page? #
• @BAUDRYCH thanks for the mention christophe. But it's about to get even more stupid. in reply to BAUDRYCH #
• Only 40 minutes of racing on final day of America's cup world series in cascais. Glad they aren't selling tickets. #
• Worth a watch, but leave aside 30 minutes. RT @RedHandedTV I just uploaded "Match Race France 2011" on Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/26615041 #
• Looks like the comms gurus at the America's cup prefer #americascup to #ac34 Why use 5 characters when you can use 12. #

• Some crowd predictions in the #AC34 Environmental Impact Report. Average Peak Race Weekend Day 334,000 people. Nearly an Indy 500 per day! #
