Version 0.2 of CritterVRE is a UK JISC funded VRE project to aid the
annotation of Access Grid sessions by accessing and caching tweets
containing a relevant hashtag. Thanks for comments on previous
experimental service.

This tool allows twitter members to login (via twitter) and register an
event. This will trigger a number of actions on the server.
1. Details will be stored about the event: Title, Location, Virtual
Venue (if set), Start Time, End Time, URL and importantly a
HashTag. Note UK time at the moment.
2. @CritterVRE <http://twitter.com/CritterVRE> will post a message to
the twitter public time line pointing to this web interface for
details
3. Optionally a similar message will be posted to the registrants
twitter time line.
4. Shortly before the event is due to start a reminder tweet will be
sent out by @CritterVRE <http://twitter.com/CritterVRE>
5. During the event the twitter search API will be accessed caching
all tweets with the relevant hashtag
6. If an Access Grid Virtual Venue was registered with the event a
new (h261) video stream will be multicast into the corresponding
Access Grid Virtual Venue to show the associated tweets.
This is an experimental service and please try it out. Please report any
problems, ideas for improvements to @CritterVRE
<http://twitter.com/CritterVRE> (as well as see the terms and conditions
on the website :-)
The following stage to this project will integrate and annotate recordings.
yours Martin
