We need help translating our Tweak the Tweet syntax instructions. I have created a Google Doc to help crowdsource this translation. If you know of an english to spanish translator please contact me.


Thank you,
Sophia

Do we have a hashtag yet for overall relevant tweets? Right now, the
major focus on Twitter seems to be tsunami.

We (at EPIC) are using the following:

#chile, #terremotochile, #tsunami, and #hitsunami (the last one is
less relevant now).

I have uploaded a backsearch data file from Chile to

http://github.com/znmeb/Chile-Quake-Tracking/blob/master/chile_quake.csv

This is a search using Twitter Search back in time for all tweets that
Twitter believes came from a 325 km radius of the epicenter. That
includes Santiago at the edge of the circle. The actual geocode I used
for the search is

-35.846,-72.719,325km

The first reference to the quake I found has a time stamp of
"2010-02-27 06:34:37 +0000". You should be able to extract a list of
people on the ground from the "from_user" column and ask them to start
using the hashtags. You might even be able to get one of them to
translate the document - I believe there are plenty of bilingual
Twitter users in Santiago.
