That's right - it is supposed to sound like 'we-future'. It's had mixed sucess though (it's jokingly referred to by my mates as 'we- futter') but as I needed the shortest possible hashtag for people to submit via Twitter, I had to cut it down as much as possible to save space... I'm hoping the predict something tag gets people there in the end!
Cheers! David PS: Apologies for not submitting in the proper introductions discussion - my only option down the bottom was "reply to author" (which I did - I think I may have sent Sertan a private email)- I didn't have the reply button to keep the thread going.
