Here is what you want to do
1. Visit our TwitterSearch Application, I have it preset for you (view image), simply replace the word "History" with any term you think might bring up a historical question.
2. After clicking "search" a list of relevant Question Tweets will come up, 90% of them will be unusable, your mission is to sift through all these tweets and find ones that could potentially be great questions on Mahalo Answers. Once you find a good question, click the check box.
3. Once you've checked off 1 or more Tweets, click "save tweets" and moments later they will appear on Mahalo.
4. When you are done importing, find the questions you imported on Mahalo.com/answers and come back to this thread and answer like this...
(Key elements: The term you searched, links to the questions as they appear on Mahalo)
5. Winner will go to whoever imports the most Historical questions. The Contest closes July 30th, so you can continue to add to your answer throughout the week by adding replies to your initial answer.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I'd have to get a judges ruling on this question, it could have even been vanished by another moderator.
Great Stuff SocalSue! Great questions.

The missing one showed up on my confirmation page. I cut and pasted from there to Notepad++ to format for my answer. Got lost somewhere in transmission.
Nice Work!
