is the VMC's hub for street reporting during the Games. There are numerous ways to contribute to this site:

TWITTER!

The easiest way to broadcast breaking information from the streets is to use twitter and a mobile phone.

1. Go to twitter and set up and account

twitter.com/signup

2. Validate your mobile number with Twitter –

twitter.com/devices

3. Text your updates to twitter by sending text messages to 21212 from your validated phone number and tagging them #no2010 or #report2010. Any tweets tagged with #no2010 or #report2010 will automatically show up on

2010.mediacoop.ca

4. Once you have linked your phone to your account, you can also sign up to receive tweets from people you choose to follow. We suggest following us
