Popis: ‘Tweak the Tweet’ is an idea for enabling citizen reporting via microblogs during crisis events. It instructs users of Twitter to tag and structure their messages to make them machine-readable using what is known as a microsyntax. This chapter describes efforts to deploy the Tweak the Tweet syntax during several crisis events in 2010. We describe how syntax, instructions, and the nature of such a campaign evolved within and across events, and share the insights gained about the use of structured data reporting during mass emergencies and disasters.
