Hi all,

Here' is the proposed SM for today's blog post regarding the Coding da Vinci hackathon. Thanks for reviewing:

Blog post: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/07/16/results-of-the-first-german-culture-ha...

SM Calendar: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Social_media/Calendar#July_16

t:Congrats to the five winners of the Coding da Vinci competition, organized by @WikimediaDE. See what they invented: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/07/16/the-future-has-arrived/

I like this one.

t: The future of Wikimedia content is here! Check out the winners of Coding Da Vinci comp in Berlin: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/07/16/the-future-has-arrived/

IMHO that's overselling it a bit.

t: Oh the places (Wikimedia content) will go! An alarm clock, a dancing cyberbeatle and a time machine app: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/07/16/the-future-has-arrived/

I don't think they are actually all using Wikimedia content, and I'm not sure what the time machine app was?

The list is a nice idea though, we can modify as follows:

Culture hackathon yields a chirping alarm clock, a dancing cyberbeetle, & new insights on books banned by the Nazis

t: What do you get when you mix free, open-source Wikipedia data and programmers? 5 amazing culture hacks: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/07/16/the-future-has-arrived/

This too is a little awkward because it's not clear that they all used Wikipedia data.

f/g: The results are in for the first German culture Hackathon, Coding da Vinci. Check out the five innovative winners. https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/07/16/the-future-has-arrived/

We should mention the organizer, also to clarify how it's related to the Wikimedia universe. e.g.:

The results are in for the first Culture Hackathon, Coding da Vinci, organized by Wikimedia Germany. Check out the five innovative winners.

Optionally, add the examples as in the tweet above:

"... Check out the five innovative winners, including a chirping alarm clock, a dancing cyberbeetle, and a project shedding new light on the list of books banned by the Nazis."

f/g: Are you a culture hacker? Check out these 5 innovative winners of the first ever, Coding da Vinci competition, held in Berlin. https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/07/16/the-future-has-arrived/

Typo (a comma too many), and I would prefer the first option.
