Crowdsourcing The Irish Twitter Population

Twitter November 3, 2009

The idea is simple. We want to put new Twitter lists to great use by creating lists of every single person using Twitter in Ireland. We want to do using twitter itself and we want to use the power of crowd sourcing to do it. All you have to do is tweet the message below and we will collect all the tweets and add them to the lists for each county. We will then publish the results and have a full twitter list of users for each of the 32 counties as an incredible public list for the Irish public to use.

What you need to tweet to get listed

*Replace Cork with the county you live in

Where To Find The Lists

You can see the full Twitter lists at Twitter.com/simplyireland and Twitter.com/simplyireland2. The reason there are 2 is because Twitter onlly allows you 20 lists per profile. The lists will be updated as the day goes on but will NOT be updated in real time so don’t worry if you don’t appear instantly on the lists, you will appear eventually!

That’s great, but there are only 32 counties in Ireland.

Not a huge fan of lists, but I’m in just to see where this goes!
Lauren Fisher

Well, we weren’t too sure about them either but this has certainly changed our minds! It’ll be interesting to see the results.

There are 32 counties in Ireland
http://www.echolibre.com Eamon Leonard

Er… how many counties in Ireland?
Lauren Fisher

@Eamon @Damien @Aisling Now changed, thanks for pointing it out!
http://www.ianquigley.com Ian Quigley

@DamienMulley – but how many are connected to the internet?

What of the diaspora ? I think we need /Boston etc. etc. ..not trying to complicate things, really
- Lauren Fisher
  
  It’s a good point. A few people that have emigrated have taken part and just tweeted their home county. Much less complicated

  Not complicated at all!
Lisa Byrne

So can I do this and add where I’m from even if I’ve moved away?
Lauren Fisher

Hi Lisa, absolutely! Just tweet your home county.

sure why not, hey?

I want to get listed #TwitterDublin
- Lauren Fisher
  
  Hey Keith, make sure you tweet it too, so we can keep track!
Paulo

Where can I find Laois?
- Lauren Fisher
  
  Hi Paulo. You simply send the tweet above, but replace Cork with Laois. Hope that makes sense!
- http://LittleQuiz.com Joe Scanlon
  
  It’s that little one between Offaly and Kilkenny. Easy to miss I’m sure
- Paulo
  
  LOL! Thanks for the info folks! One more question: Does my twitter account have to be public for this to work?
- Lauren Fisher
  
  If you follow @simplyireland we can follow you back and will see your tweet. Otherwise no, it won’t work.
- Paulo
  
  Ok, so I’m following SimplyIreland so has soon as I get a follow request I will be able to continue, right?
- Paulo
  
  SimplyIreland seems full now (20 lists), do I need to follow SimplyIreland2 to get Laois on that?
- Lauren Fisher
  
  Yes I’ll follow you from there now
- Paulo
  
  One final question:
  Are you only interest on real people or can structures (like a house) that are based in Ireland be also included?

Swelling the numbers I guess… But I would like a sub-group in Cork of those up for a coffee in CorkCoffeeRoasters sometime

Hey, can I add myself to more than one county? Don’t want to get listed in them all – just three.
- http://dev01.zesty-web03.virtual.tibus.net Lauren Fisher
  
  Hi Darren. Yes you can absolutely. Just remember that it’s us that has to sort you at the other end
john McGrath

I do not see Clare and other counties on the list.
