Overview

Tweak the Tweet is focusing on getting useful information into tweets in a structured fashion.

Tweet Triage is focused on helping aid groups focus on the tweets that they need to act on, whether or not they have structured information in them.

Tweet Triage sucks in all #haiti tweets, and presents an interface for crowdsourced triage; the general public looks at the raw tweet stream and marks the tweets that require action on the ground. Aid groups can then focus on only those tweets, and ignore the noise.
