Thanks Todd. Great links.

Given some of the work going on in Haiti using social media, it provides yet
another impetus for this work — since you could imagine how valuable it
would be for respondents on the scene to be able to syndicate their
activities across heterogeneous systems... I don't imagine we'll have
something concrete this time around, but it's worth noting the hashtag-based
stopgap mechanisms that are being used because of the lack of standardized
metadata in the wild:
