Hey,

academics begin to share their papers on twitter for free.

How about making them searchable?

Recipe:

- modified Twitter River / Attachment Mapper: detecting #pdftribute PDF  
URLs, crawl URLs, extract text and metadata
- indexing text and metadata into Elasticsearch
- nice, simple web UI

Regards,

Jörg
