No doubt about it: if Superman existed he would use Twittelp to receive real-time updates from people asking for his super-human powers!
Twittelp easily lets you ask for help from your followers and other local twitter users. Or, step into your own superhero spandex and answer the pleas from nearby people needing assistance themselves. You have questions; they have answers. And visaversa, of course.
Twittelp is a mobile application that gives users a quick way to ask for help on the twittersphere. Each of your followers will be able to see what you need. Moreover, you can define up to 5 followers (we suggest your best friends or people who are very familiar) who will be mentioned inside the help request!
Simply use the map to discover who needs help around you. Then, go and help the person or just re tweet the help request, increasing its visibility.
With Twittelp it’s possible to see what's happening globally and how people are asking for help. Even public administration could use it to get real time updates on what people need.
Use the mobile Twittelp app, and it will be formatted with an automatic shortened URL for providing all desktop twitter users a visual detail of the help requested. The help detail page shows the exact location of the user and, if possible, the actual address thanks to reverse geocoding. A Tweet Button will give the chance to both reply to the user and RT his/her request.
The mobile client side is currently available only on iPhone/iPod Touch, but will be ready for the Android soon. Once you setup your application, connect it with your personal Twitter account and choose your five favourite followers who would most likely come to rescue you. Now you are ready to ask for help and look if someone nearby your location can be helped.
There are two main ways to ask for help:
- Tap the big “T!” button. By doing this, a standard "Please I really NEED quick help!" will be tweeted.
- Tap the "What's happening?" button and explain better what you need and why you are asking for help. You don't even have to care about the 140 character limit since that will all be handled by twittelp!
If you look for someone nearby you who needs help, you can tap the detail button on the map and see more information about that request. You also have the possibility to directly re tweet in order to give more visibility to that help request.
This is the very first release and I’m working on adding many new features! For any suggestion, hint or random thoughts about the project just drop us a line to contact [at] twittelp [dot] com or just get in touch with Twittelp through is official Twitter account, @TwittelpApp
