should we be flagging hash tags also?

[drevicko]

the current twitter_crawler_project.py script does not flag when hash tags have been identified as synonyms. From my perspective, knowing if a keyword has been detected as a hash tag vs normal word is important, as they can have quite different meanings.

I'd like to change the code that keeps user mentions (eg: @mrfoo) found in the tweet to also keep hash tags (currently only the word part of the tag is reported).

It'd mean two changes:

• r"@%s\b" changed to r"[#@]%s\b"
• "@%s" % keyword changed to "%s%s" % (word_match.group()[0], keyword)

Thoughts?
