This is cool: with the Shredded Tweet site one can search a twitter tag, get back the result in RDFa. Ie, the result can be ran through an RDFa tool to get the data in RDF, ready to be mashed up with other stuffs. For example, one can search the #w3c tag to get to the RDFa page; run it to the RDFa distiller, to yield an RDF data:

The RDF content also be directed used, eg, in a SPARQL call, but the combined URI-s of the distiller service and the original data; ugly URI, but can be minted programatically fairly easily. This is cool…

Great service, thanks for drawing my attention to it (via Twitter).
You can just GET the RDF directly (without using the Distiller) though via URIs like:

Ah! That makes it even quicker, I did not realize that is also possible. That is even cooler:-)

It’d be cool to have an SPARQL endpoint of such data

I tried Shredded Tweet, and it seems cool.. I downloaded the firefox extension Fuzz(http://rdfa.digitalbazaar.com/fuzz/trac/) to detect triples on search results..

Another option is to use rtsw – it delivers live streamed RDF data from the Twitter stream API.
You can restrict by tag to get only posts matching a particular #hashtag

A good alternative to RDFa Distiller is Any23.
Try it:
