Twitter Comp Posting...

I comp by hovering my mouse over comp titles on the list to see what the first post says....
At the moment, it's getting a bit frustrating when people are using Follow and Retweet URL links without the name of the company anywhere in the text. It means I have to click in, hover over the links and see where they are going to lead.
It also makes searching for competitions quite difficult, if they have a Twitter name that's quite different to their Twitter handle...
I think it would be really helpful, if people could include a company name in their OP of Twitter comps - maybe others comp differently, and don't agree?
It's not that I mind the text instead of a link, but it's more helpful to have:
[Company Name]
[Retweet]
rather than
[Follow]
[Retweet]
in my opinion....?
