Freewellington informs about events

The freewellington Twitterbot does something interesting — it notices tweets that begin with the letters fw and then repeats them.

This means, for example, that if I happen to know about or come across a free or low cost event in Wellington I can immediately let others know about it. Anyone ‘following’ the freewellington Twitterfeed will immediately receive the information.

Here are a couple of examples from the web page:

@chillu says free opshop concert in waitangi park at 7 today …

@br3nda says This week is FAIR TRADE FORTNIGHT.. just for 2 weeks, try for fair trade coffee, sugar, chocolate, cocoa, soap, software…

@johubris says Lyall Bay is very seaweedy today, go to a different beach 03:01 PM February 23, 2008.
