By: Gustav08.ning.com Andy Carvin's Blog New on Twitter: GustavAlerts Thanks to the work of John Tynan of KJZZ public radio in Phoenix, we now have the start of a Gustav Alert on twitter. It's called GustavAlerts, and it'll be used to automatically send out government weather alerts related to Gustav. Right now it's just got one feed, and it needs tweaking, but we'll add more to it tomorrow as well. Posted on August 30th, 2008 at 10:49pm — 4 Comments (Add) Tag Everything gustav Please Soon this site will aggregate content from a variety of sources, including Flickr, Twitter, YouTube, Utterz, Technorati, etc. If you're creating any content related to Gustav, please tag it gustav so we'll be able to aggregate it here. Thanks! Hi everyone, I'm scrambling to get this group up and running. You'll see below I'm experimenting with some Twitter aggregators, and hope to settle on the most efficient system in the next few hours. @johntynan of KJZZ public radio is working with me to get some twitter accounts up and running, so twitter users can receive gustav news, alerts, blog posts, etc via twitter as well. I've also added a Flickr stream of content tagged gustav to the left.

Thanks! What should we include on this site? Posted by Andy Carvin on August 30, 2008 at 6:30pm in Uncategorized Need feedback asap of what we should put here. Obvious stuff includes widgets for major info sources (twitter, google news, etc,) widgets of user-generated content tagged gustav, links to donation and volunteer sources (including phone #s), official govt alerts, etc. What else? Any thoughts on how to organize it? Here's what I did in 2005 for Katrina, if it'll help us brainstorm: http://katrina05.blogspot.com/ OK, I guess craigslist is no longer letting me parse the housing section using Yahoo Pipes. So just use the basic feeds Matt provided: http://neworleans.craigslist.org/ http://neworleans.craigslist.org/ I can aggregate them if you want. I would also include the volunteer section http://neworleans.craigslist.org/ Matt Cowley said: Here's a start: http://pipes.yahoo.com/ There's also an active discussion forum, but no rss feed for that so I'll have to parse it separately. Reply by Tom Caswell 2 hours ago If you have an RSS widget for Ning, just plug in Matt's two feeds: http://neworleans.craigslist.org/ http://neworleans.craigslist.org/ That should contain most of the craigslist info relating to Gustav. If you want to search all the craigslists across the USA, then it gets a bit trickier. Andy Carvin said: This is very cool, Matt. Ideally, we should have a widget on the ning homepage that lists the most recent entries, but then has a links to all the relevant pages, so people can browse into the archives. Does that make sense?

Hi everyone, Once the wiki is ready, we'll have a page listing all the volunteers and what tasks they're handling. Until that happens, please use this discussion thread to note as precisely as possible - and in plain English, please - exactly what role(s) you're playing in this volunteer effort. Part of this is to just get a sense of how many people are contributing, but also to make sure that we're not duplicating efforts except when done in a coordinated fashion.
