Announcing Rummble for Twitter
March 22, 2010 – 12:01 am
Just in time for London’s Twestival Twitter users can now create Rummbles (recommendations for places in the physical world) and even checkin (announce your location at a specific venue) directly from Twitter.
Simply include #rummble in your tweet and Rummble will do its best to understand the place you’re talking about, do some simple sentiment analysis on it (to work out if you’re saying the place is good or bad) and if you say you’re hanging out there or having a drink there, we’ll check you in too!
Obviously the more information you give in the tweet, the better chance Rummble has of understanding e.g.
Hanging out in Joes Cafe, norfolk street Cambridge. Great coffee and free wifi. 7/10 #rummble

How accurate is Rummble for Twitter?
Computers reading natural language is always tricky; computers reading 140 characters is even trickier. The more info you include, the better the chance Rummble will guess where you’re talking about!
Happy tweeting!
