#Snowtweets
Using twitter, this group asks viewers to tweet their location and snow depth through a hashtag. They are collecting data for creating more accurate snowfall simulations.
Pro: Like the social media aspect, when I got on twitter there were several posts tweeted about the project and it led to discussion. An easy thing to tweet.
They have an interactive map that looks at where tweets are coming from, and snow is falling. Website is pretty straightforward and easy to navigate.
Cons: Lack of reward for particpants, no feedback on ongoing research
