The raw Twitter feed for searching for “odf” will certainly bring in a lot of typos, often fat fingers trying to type “of”. But I’m passing the feed through an additional filter, a case-sensitive search for “ODF”, which seems to have eliminated those stray tweets.

Even that is not enough for the Google News feed, since ODF is also an acronym for Oregon Department of Forestry and other things. So I only pass through news stories containing “standard” or “format” in addition to “ODF”.

identi.ca is a similar service to Twitter (its a federated µblog network), but it has inbuilt tags and groups. Groups behave like a subscription mailing list, tags behave just like on twitter. So when users post to group, it’s certainly meant to go there.

I confess I get my identica account to forward to twitter just to maintain my old viewers, apologies for any dupes.

At the moment planetodf contains a lot of tweets that contain typos of ‘of’, it is a bit depressing. It might be possible to use a feed from hashtags.org? at least then users are certain #odf will forward to the planet.

It will make your duplication worries go away ;) Most of the freedom loving people switched to identi.ca since it runs on an open platform; but I know that various still double post their microblogs for now to twitter.

Identica actually has groups with a separate feed to follow, so I would suggest you follow that one and urge anyone that microblogs and wants its odf posts to be aggregated to use a laconica installation (which powers identi.ca among others) for this feature alone.

I added your blog.<br/><br/>Thomas, the identi.ca posts look very similar to posts I've seen on ODF on Twitter. Is this an independent service? Or do people commonly post the same content to both? I'm trying to avoid duplicates, which is hard.<br/><br/>As for a logo, there are the official OASIS <a HREF="http://opendocument.xml.org/wiki/odf-community-logo" REL="nofollow" rel="nofollow">community logos</a> for ODF are here: <br/><br/>The dove one is square, 300x300 pixels, though I'm not sure how well it will reduce since we have only a JPG, not a scalable vector graphics version. Thanks, Gary. I added your blog.
