Being clever would have taken time away from the goal of writing a book. It's arguable that the book would have been done sooner had they both taken the time to learn Morse Code (or Huffman Coding), but they quickly found a workable solutio

The rider list is the only missing feature that I had expected to find. Seems that there are two areas to cover: who's on Twitter and what are they saying. As for who, definitely add more information but consider grouping the riders for con
