Please get out the message to those on the ground in Haiti, and to developers that want to work on display of information and machine parsing of Tweets!

About Tweak the Tweet -

It was developed in a collaboration of myself (Jeannie Stamberger) and Kate Starbird, an EPIC doctoral student at University of Colorado, Boulder in the lab of Leysia Palen, winning runner-up in the Random Hacks of Kindness Competition in November 2009. Leysia Palen and her research group at U.C. Boulder released today (January 14, 2010) a initial grammar (http://tinyurl.com/yjfrjv6) to better provide and make usable Tweeted information reported on the ground in Haiti,  designed to aid rescue and recovery efforts in the Haiti earthquake.
