Registering a Twitter account and API access

The following instructions will direct you on how to set up a new Twitter account in a web browser and get your community to make geotagged tweets:

Create a Twitter account for this purpose (a nonpersonal one). The account will need to be linked to a unique mobile phone and e-mail. If you've already linked your e-mail and mobile phone with an account, there are some hints for getting around this in the following section.

Go to https://apps.twitter.com/ and create a new app.

You will need to unregister your phone number if it is already registered with another account (Twitter will warn you about this).

In Application Settings, find manage keys and access tokens. Here, you will find your consumer key and secret.

You must also create an access token by clicking on Create my Access Token.

Users who would like to have their tweets added to the system should be directed to use your Twitter handle (@YOURNAME). Retweet the tweets that you wish to add to your map. For a more passive solution, you can also follow all the users who you wish to capture; although, you'll need to find some way to filter out their irrelevant tweets.
