To add to @ssharon's answer....

The "hash symbol" -- # -- in front of the "TCOT" specifies it as a "tag". (This style of tagging was started by hashtags -- http://hashtags.org/ although the show up in http://search.twitter.com/ )

So that #TCOT is the "TCOT" tag. And, as @ssharon mentioned, "TCOT" stands for "Top Conservatives on Twitter" as per this website: http://www.topconservativesontwitter.org/

AFAIK Michael Leahy seems to be the guy behind the TCOT phenomena: http://twitter.com/michaelpleahy

They also created http://www.tcotreport.com/ which is suppose to be a conservative version of the Drudge report.

I'll buy "Top Conservatives on Twitter"

but they missed an opportunity. the counterpoint to TCOT would be TLOT. big deal.

If they had put some thought into it, they might have named their tag "Super Conservatives Using Twitter" or "Conservatives On Social Electronic Resources"
