Welcome to the haitistream wiki!

This is a simple, two page application to crowd source the identification of vital / crisis-related tweets from the deluge of genearl tweets about the term “haiti”. The refined tweets can then get passed along to the proper volunteers for action (data entry into Ushahidi, etc). Developed at CrisisCamp SV / RHOK

To-Do List:

• twitter import
  • make sure we catch all tweets
  • improve geolocation and grab username (Anselm)
• firehose page
  • hotoronot one-at-a-time UI
  • can we link back to twitter for the username and/or individual tweet? (Anselm)

  • don’t refresh from Twitter in a user thread
