I won't be able to attend this year, but I'm BrianEnigma on Twitter, for what it's worth.
More importantly: any thoughts on a hashtag to use during ARGfestocon?

r_giskard here, which I only just created
Not too sure how much I will be able to Twitter from ARGfest though, as it'll be pretty expensive to use my mobile phone (which, if all goes well and I survive friday's craze, will be a shiny new iPhone 3G ) in the US.

Good luck with that. I tried my only avenue of getting one (online upgrade yesterday) and failed hard

okay, okay, okay. I got myself an account (if only to avoid anyone else from taking my name). But I'm not adding phone notifications (I don't have unlimited texting cause I don't have teenagers).
And I have no idea how to add people yet.
But feel free to add me if you want. I won't be doing much on it (so I won't be wasting much bandwidth).

I'm pretty sure you don't pay for Twitter to send you text messages, only the other way round. Also, to add someone just go to their profile and there should be a "follow" button.

you don't pay, but it limits you to only 250 mobile notifications per week.
(afaik) SMS txting isn't a free service. Someone takes a hit. Here, twitter
But it takes a lot to get 250 mobile notifications per week... I typically keep it off, unless I'm away from the net and I either tweet and want to receive replies, or am just bored and want to see what others are tweeting
I have the friends list RSS in my reader, so missed tweets are still stored for viewing later. quite a handy feature actually.

This may be the case in Canada (and the UK) but I think it's unlimited in the US. Goodness knows how Twitter finance it, but then they're running a huge service anyway with no adverts/subscriptions/other revenue.

No, but I would be paying on my cell phone for any txt msg. I pay 15 cents every time someone sends me a txt (obviously I try to not respond since that costs me another 15 cents).
I'm getting notifications in my email, so that works I guess.
People have signed up to follow me, how do I add them to my watch list?

My attempt will consist of either going to Rotterdam for the 3G sale starting there at midnight Thursday night, or lying in front of the local T-Mobile store early next morning... since they sent out the midnight sale e-mail newsletter to about 140,000 people and simultaneously announced they will only actually have 500 phones there, I think I'll bet on the second option...
Back on topic: I sure won't be using text messages to update my Twitter... I'd have to use a British phonenumber, which would cost me almost a euro per message
