Smart,

what about using words (like a password phrase) instead of a hash? You can schedule title of the upcoming tweet, so people can like it and "subscribe" to notifications

I'm not sure of any hashing algorithms which use words as their output. Or have I misunderstood your comment?

It's just a byte string converted to a hex string commonly. Chunk it into quads of hex and you can index into a 65k dictionary (the OED has more than twice that).
