I don't think it would work on our forum (a local community site). The users are barely able to understand the concept of email subscriptions. I seriously doubt many of them could handle some sort of Twitter client for that.

In my own case, It would work fine on my desktop where I have Trillian displaying tweets on my second monitor. But I rarely run Twitter when on mobile, so would be a huge fail compared to instant email notifications.

Well if you use something like VB Cerberus to split your forums up as is separate Twitter accounts are already being used. Hash tags just won't do it.

I'm sure this could be modified to do what I'm asking by someone.
