With Australians getting hot under the collar about $16 democracy sausages [news.com.au] during the New South Wales state elections [news.com.au] a group of people have taken the liking of Australians buying a sausage on election day to a new level with a site showing where to get a democracy sausage [democracysausage.org] using hashtags to monitor trends. Voters can use the hashtag #democracysausage or send a direct message to the site to help track the availability of food. From the website [democracysausage.org]:

What is this?
A map of sausage and cake availability on election day.

We crowdsource (or is it crowdsauce?) data from Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram and from the stalls that people submit to us on this here website.

Finally, a good significant useful and practical use for the internet (other than porn and online shopping)
