Thanks Andrej Hi All, Quick update: we collected just over 182K tweets on Friday between 5am to 7pm (Manila local time) and automatically filtered this down to 35,175 tweets based on relevancy and uniqueness. These 35K tweets are being uploaded to the TweetClicker a few thousand tweets at a time. We realize the Clicker has gotten slow due to heavy traffic, so we're working on fixing that, thanks for your patience. Our SBTF partners are busy geo-coding and analyzing the early results from the Clicker as per the information needs of OCHA Philippines. We’ll be repeating all this for just one more day tomorrow (Saturday) and depending on volume of collected pictures, may also launch the ImageClicker. Thanks for your continued support. Cheers, Patrick, Jus, Ji, Hemant, Andrew ---- Patrick P.
