New Gnip schema live on demo.gnip.com

We have flipped the switch to allow people to start working with our new schema at http://demo.gnip.com. In addition to standing up the site with the updated schema we have moved over all the existing accounts from the current system, so your existing gnipcentral.com user and password also get you access to the demo system.

The following publishers are in the demo system and we plan to add more over the course of the next month during the beta period.

• Digg
• Identi.ca
• Seesmic
• Six Apart
• Twitter

We will be posting additional examples of how we mapped these social media services to the updated Gnip Schema in the Gnip Community and will link to those examples from the blog as well as point to them in our standard release newsletter that will go out later today.

Based on the feedback we have received there is a lot of interest in the enhanced metadata in the new schema that can be used to support additional types of  URLs, multiple tags, geo data, and rich media. Now, go grab some data and do something cool with it.
