A lot of people have asked about killer uses of Twitter. This has to be the
most killer of all. VoteReport is using Twitter to take real-time poll
monitoring reports from cell phones. (There are also iphone and android apps).
http://twittervotereport.com/If you want to do this tomorrow, you need to start following @hashtags on
Twitter so you can use hash tags in your twitter messages. Hash tags are like
other tags from Flickr, etc, they index content in twitter posts so posts with
those tags can be pulled together.
Here are some examples of the possible reports to send about voting conditions
via Twitter:
Including “#votereport” in your tweet is enough to get your report tracked by
Twitter Vote Report. But the more details you can stuff in, the better. So, for
example, include in your Twitter post:
* #[zip code] to indicate the zip code where you’re voting; ex., “#12345″
* L:[address or city] to drill down to your exact location; ex. “L:1600
Pennsylvania Avenue DC”
* #machine for machine problems; ex., “#machine broken, using prov. ballot”
* #reg for registration troubles; ex., “#reg I wasn’t on the rolls”
* #wait:[minutes] for long lines; ex., “#wait:120 and I’m coming back later”
* #early if you’re voting before November 4th
* #good or #bad to give a quick sense of your overall experience
* #EP[your state] if you have a serious problem and need help from the
Election Protection coalition; ex., #EPOH
I am going to tweet from my polling location while I'm there tomorrow.
