Is there a table which we can access where it states who are leading in the prerun? I see a list of names of those who have registered so far, but I do not find a table like the ones we usually see? :-)

I have some comments/questions about this Twitter-thingy.
Japanese is missing among the languages.
Can you add some kind of challenge where essays on lang-8 are included? It might get a little complicate with people doing different combinations of movies, books, writing, and conversation. So maybe it would be best if one registered with, for example - movies and how many - books and how many, etc. I'm not sure what the best way for you to do it is, but I would like writing to be included.
And one more thing (please don't laugh, or at least not too much). I've heard the name Twitter before, but what exactly is it and how do you do it? I mean, how do you send these messages?

Twitter is a service with which you can right messages with up to 140 signs. Write Twitter on google, get to their home page and register. It is fairly intuitive once your are in. If I could manage, I am confident that you can :-)

I had trouble registering Japanese too, even though I followed the instructions. Is
Japanese not included yet?

It's not on the list, but I sent an e-mail, so I'm sure it will be fixed soon.

Anybody know how to change Twitter to English (or Norwegian)? My computer likes to change everything to Japanese (it's always so helpful), but my Japanese isn't quite good enough to figure out these kinds of things.
Maybe I have to have an account in order to change the language? I couldn't find any button for it.

Brun_Ugle, on Twitter, there's a box on the top right-hand side that has the profile of a
person and an arrow. Click on the arrow, and choose "settings" which is second to last in
the list. Page opens, click "language", third from top, choose English, and you should be
good to go. Let me know if you need anything else.
Oh, if you don't have an account yet, the homepage on the top to the right has a button
displaying the language and an arrow next to it. Choose English or Norwegian.
