Tweak the Tweet for Chile

[Sophia Liu]

Here is an update on what Project EPIC is doing with Tweak the Tweet for Chile.

We are helping to deploy and distribute the Tweak the Tweet syntax or format specific to #chile. We have gotten volunteers to help us translate our Tweak the Tweet prescriptive examples and instructions to spanish and chilean (or rather spanish slang). 

This is a Google Doc with the prescriptive tweets in spanish and chilean: http://tinyurl.com/Chile-TTT

This is a Google Doc with the TtT Instructions (we need more translation help on this): http://tinyurl.com/TTT-Chile

We created a TtT Editor in english and spanish to help people create tweets with the TtT syntax: http://tinyurl.com/TTT-editor

Kate Starbird is updating this Google Spreadsheet with tweets using the TtT syntax: http://tinyurl.com/ttt-sebusca

Simon has created a website showing some tweets using the TtT syntax but they are not filtered entirely for TtT here: http://chile.tweetneed.org/

We would like to have more tools up that will use Tweets in the TtT syntax so that people can see examples of its usefulness.

For those working with Ushahidi:

We are currently trying to push the syntax to our Chilean contacts via Twitter. We are wondering if Tweets using the TtT syntax should be put into Ushahidi (http://chile.ushahidi.com/) but we are not sure if this is already being done. We are starting to collate some of these tweets in this google spreadsheet (http://tinyurl.com/ttt-sebusca) and we could have Ushahidi volunteers input this into Ushahidi. Any thoughts, questions, suggestions?

Thanks, Sophia

It's almost trivial to make an RSS feed from a Twitter Search, so
anything that can read RSS feeds could republish T-t-T data.
