@Wormtail81 Ushahidi.com says it CAN collect info from Twitter. It seems hard to do unless the tweets are geotagged and everyone agrees on the right hashtags. Processing messages sent directly to, or entered directly into, a Ushahidi server has to be more reliable.
I love that Ushahidi means "testimony or witness" in Swahili language. I love the breadth of meanings associated with that - from a very personal belief or experience right through to legal ramifications and of course, the sacred or divine sense too - beautiful!

Awesome, the core is gathering information and which makes it meaningful and worth sharing.
Thanx to the teams making it happen.
