As @bonigala states in "Can You Own a Twitter Hashtag", the question of whether or not you should be able to own a Twitter hashtag is one that just keeps cropping up in the branding world. Well imagine if there was a tool that gave you real-time Twitter Channels based on Twitter accounts and hashtags, whereby you could bring your Twitter community together in a real-time group chat environment that ties in directly to existing Twitter hashtags, but with a superior real-time chatting experience, moderation facilities, "presence" that tells you who is hanging out in real-time, automatic conversation transcripts, conversation archives that last forever, a search tool that let's you scan entire conversations, and design & branding on a vanity URL that matches your Twitter username.
That's Nurph.com, and you're going to love it. Get started in just a few seconds or read on to find out more.
@nurph makes twitter so much more fun! #SWfourOffices via nurph.com/SWfourOffices

Nurph Channels publish the conversations straight out to Twitter so everyone is kept in the loop, and it's a far slicker chat experience.OWNERSHIP: Nurph Channels are owned by the Twitter account that matches the hashtag you typed in. Therefore, @Nurph owns #Nurph, @StephenFry owns #StephenFry, and @Apple owns #Apple. If you have a Twitter username you now can feel confident about building a real-time Twitter hashtag community for your online persona, brand, company, event, and community without worrying about your hashtag being hijacked by someone else.REALLY REAL-TIME: Chat in real-time like never before. Not only does Nurph let you "own" a hashtag but you also get the best real-time Twitter experience. Once you've participated in a Nurph Channel you won't want to go back to chatting via the Twitter interface. Chatting via Nurph is so much better than trying to piece together a Twitter chat using other tools. Just try it and see.MODERATION: Control the chat with moderation facilities based around who you Follow and who Follows you. Stop other people from taking over your chat.

Block people who don't play nice on your hashtag.TRANSCRIPTS: Get automatic conversation archives that are created in real-time as you chat away. Check out this recent conversation with the @AppleCrowd Twitter community to see our nifty conversation archives in action http://nurph.com/AppleCrowd/logs/03-November-2011KEYWORD SEARCH: The keyword search facility makes it a piece of cake to search through your past conversations.
