Last week I recorded an interview with Gareth Mitchell who presents the BBC World Service's radio show "Click" (and who I discovered to be a Welsh speaker during the interview). That show aired earlier today and is available now as a podcast from the BBC web site.
There have also been several newspaper articles and blog posts about Indigenous Tweets over the last couple of weeks; I'm really happy about all the attention the site's been getting, particularly the interest that's been shown by the indigenous language communities it's meant to serve - thanks everyone!
In particular, here's an article in Hebrew by Oded Yaron from the Haaretz newspaper, one in Russian by Yuliya Melnyk, and a piece in English by Curt Hopkins from Read Write Web that appeared the day after the launch and drew a huge number of people to the site. I'll link to some of the blogs in a separate post next chance I get.
I found an English translation of the Russian article: http://ijnet.org/blog/website-helps-connect-minority-languages-wider-world-twitter. The best I can do for the Hebrew article is a (pretty funny) translation by Google Translate.
