Excusing the commentor's misuse of grammar and punctuation: I'm Not sure why this comment is being down voted. I haven't done the research, but is @rolltide incorrect in his assertion that you can get certain data from USGS (such as magnitude, depth, and location)? That information is available on the USGS website. Or are people down-voting him/her because of the claim of making your own seismoter? (rolltitde did misspel seismometer).

  For one, twitter can't give you a notification for an earthquake.

  It sounds like they just meant random people tweeting about earthquakes the moment they happen, instead of actual data or reliable notifications.

  > Excusing the commentor's misuse of grammar and punctuation: I'm Not sure why this comment is being down voted. I downvoted it for "Twitter lol". 1) The "lol" is unnecessary and juvenile 2) The statement indicates that either using Twitter should somehow be obvious, or that the poster is not taking the posed question seriously On balance, it pulls the level of discourse down, which is my (and the proper) criteria for a downvote.

    > I downvoted it for "Twitter lol". I would appreciate that you not censor other people comments over such trivial things. Because it's really annoying to everyone else. And thus rude.

  seems the consensus is that it's not inaccurate, they just didn't like the format of the contribution so you can learn a lot from downvote censored comments on this site
