If you're a food vendor already on the map, login via Twitter for even more control over your locations.
Tweat.it for Eaters
Tweat.it makes it easy to find the mobile food vendors closest to you right now. Whether you are at your desk or on the go, seeing the city's most unique mobile food vendors on a map in real-time means you can find your next meal in seconds.
Tweat.it for Vendors
How does no extra work, no extra cost, and no new account to manage sound? Simply tweet your location like you already do and we'll put it on the map, so you can focus on the food. Or login via Twitter and fine-tune your locations to the inch. We won't send tweets on your account, we never see your password, and you can revoke our access at any time.
How Does it Work?
Tweat.It is, at its heart, a mapping visualization engine for Twitter. We read public food vendor tweets as they happen, then use our in-house mojo to see which ones mention one or more locations and place them on the map. This happens automatically in real time so you always have up-to-the-minute food truck information awareness.
How do I get on the map?
First off you must be a mobile food vendor, specifically you must sell food on wheels. Secondly, you offer something unique. We all love a New York City hot dog or Gyro from time to time, but our focus is on truck food that offers up interesting food that you can’t get just anywhere. Lastly, you must have a public Twitter feed, as that's where we get our data. If you are not on the map but feel you should be, contact us.
We like to eat so we made Tweat.it.
Jess Eddy
Jess has been a foodie ever since she had her very first bite of tuna tartare thinking it was diced tomatoes. Although this happened by mistake it has led her down a very delicious road filled with great food experiences. Tired of searching through Twitter lists Jess wanted to build Tweat.it with Joel to automatically know where mobile food vendors were with no hassle.
When not eating, Jess pays the bills by being a User Experience Designer designing and building software. Jess is also part of a burgeoning ice cream company called Phinizy & Phebe in Brooklyn.
What's the last amazing thing she ate? Poutine from Mile End: See it!
Joel Potischman
Tweat.It unites Joel's two great passions: eating, and cursing at computers. As a lifelong New Yorker, Joel knows that great meals can be found anywhere, but only if you can find them. As the saying goes, take a man to a food truck and he eats for a day, but write an app that reads Twitter feeds, deciphers locations like "bwy btw 86 n 87th", and displays them on a Google map with distance and bearings from you to the nearest truck, and he eats food truck treats for a lifetime. Or something like that.
Between meals, Joel builds reliable, scalable, and usable web apps, web services, and web systems. He rarely rests, but he always RESTs.
