Tweak-the-tweet

This project seeks to build a collaboration network to promote Tweet-friendly hashtag-based syntax to help direct Twitter communications for more efficient data extraction for those communicating about the Haiti earthquake disaster. It modifies tweet pieces dependent on subject to make them more easily machine-parsable. The syntax is constantly evolving. Each tweet counted must have #haiti and only one other key word (need, offering, ruok, trapped, etc.)

Example:

TWEET-BEFORE: Altagrace Pierre needs help at Delmas 14 House no. 14.

TWEET-AFTER: #haiti #name Altagrace Pierre #need help #loc Delmas 14 House no. 14.
