Hi Oleg, Well you beat me to it :) This is in fact almost exactly what I had in mind and what I discussed at WhereCampEU. Apart from the comments Martin made, we also discussed using a mention instead of a hashtag. This helps to keep the user's followers twitter streams free of the osmitter tweets that do not make sense to most anyway. The rationale here is that a tweet starting with a @mention will - I believe - only show up in your follower's stream if they also follow that account. Also, I've been thinking about feedback to the user. Because GPS is generally inaccurate in dense urban areas this way of adding things to OSM will result in quite a number of those things ending up on the next block or on the wrong side of the street. It would be good if there were some way for the user to easily review his submissions. This could be done in a number of ways. Firstly there is the intermediate layer that Martin mentioned. I was talking to Oliver (Skobbler) about using MapDust for that and that makes a lot of sense to me. If you choose to go the route you chose and add directly there should be either something like a queue of twitter submissions on the osmitter web site that you could pull up to review your submissions, or possibly a twitter reply with a link to a mobile site allowing you to do that. As it is, this system will generate a lot of inaccurately located POIs – or does your experience show otherwise? A last thing that I've been thinking about implementing is a way to add links to photos to the POI. Twitter clients on smartphones generally have tight integration with photo sharing services - take a picture, twitter client uploads and inserts link to image page on sharing service. That link could be added as a tag (url:photo or something?) to the poi.
