New Search Categories Added

As previously stated, the goal of this project is to create a dialog among participants. So last week when Twitter user and myG20-ist @davidseals posted the following message, we got to task!

User recommendation

Ask and you shall receive. If you now look directly below the embedded Twitter stream you'll see several preliminary search categories such as art, food & music. Basically, the search option mines all #myG20 posts for keywords relating to certain topics. We thought it might be cool to add a few emotion/inflection-based options as well, so we threw cool, love & questions into the mix.

When we announced via our Twitter stream & Facebook page last week the addition of these initial categories, we also requested that users send over any ideas we may have missed. Some really great ones came rolling in such as @PittsburghFDN's transit, @rimabean's coffee, and @aerdin's views. We plan to make this search feature of the site as robust as possible, so we included a "Submit Category" button. Feel free to send any thoughts or ideas about potential categories to us for consideration.

Again, thank you all for your support and interest in this project. Happy myG20-ing!
