Developers: Get Your Twitter Vote Report GeoJSON Feed Here

Posted Nov 2, 2008 at 9:54 pm by Nancy Scola

Just ignore this post if the phrase "JavaScript Object Notation" means nothing to you, but I want to make a point of mentioning that the GeoJSON feed of all Twitter Vote Report data is now up and running. That’s all the reports in our data stream, tagged with geographic information.

We want (and are very close to begging) you to make use of it. Grab it and mash it up with whatever you like — whether that’s polling place locations, real-time results, or something else. If you come up with something neat, just let us now in the comments.

Oh yeah, there’s also a Twitter Vote Report KML link that works in Google Earth, if that’s more your style. That link will update the file every 60 seconds with new reports.
