Tagalus: The Dictionary of Twitter Hashtags

Tagalus

Tagalus is looking to be the Twitter dictionary for hashtags. The services allows you to define and create new hashtags for the Twitterosphere.

For example, if you are unaware of the popular #followfriday hashtag, you can find an accurate definition of the tag on Tagalus. Tagalus is seeking to crowdsource hashtags and their definitions with the help of service users.

Tagalus: #followfriday

Page definitions include previous definitions that users have recommended, several options for adding your own definition, Flickr and Youtube results, and real-time updates of when the hashtag is used.


Don’t know what a hashtag is? Definition of a hashtag.

Twobile – yes another Windows mobile client

Twobile is just like the rest.  It seems there is not a lot of variance in what can be done on the Windows Mobile device clients.

They have a huge amount of information around all of the settings and features.  While it is a plain interface, it works and does a lot, just without all the graphical splash.

ceTwit – Windows Mobile client

ceTwit doesn’t have a facny homepage, just links to download the cab files.  I found a better review and screenshots here on spmwenkel’s blog from August 2008.

Navigating in the regular view is even easier. The up/down buttons still work, and there is also a scrollbar at the side of the screen. However, pressing left or right will PageUp/PageDown the screen, moving through 5 tweets at the time (depending on how many tweets you show on one screen normally). And if you’ve read through all your tweets and find yourself at the bottom of your list, simply go to the Menu and select the second item “Jump to top” in order to go back to the top of your list

Images are courtesy of the blog review and you should read it.  The whole posting is quite in depth and impressive in how ceTwit works.  Thorough!

CouponTweet – find coupons through Twitter

CouponTweet allows you to find coupon codes and discounts from all over the Twitter community.  You ca even mark coupons as expired or bad giving you instant visual indicators as well.

CouponTweet displays every coupon code and discount code it comes across on Twitter — plus some they’ve personally vetted and guarantee to work — on the front page. You can also search for deals from favorite merchants or a particular brand, even a specific product or service. Or browse categories such as apparel, computers and tickets.

So the good news is you do not need to be following everyone that uses Twitter to capture the ability to get awesome discounts.  You can search by keyword,  company, alphabetical listing and there is a category sorting built into the menu as well.

I cant type more since I just saw an ad for a new laptop and vacation.

TwitStamp – personal website images

TwitStamp allows you to create yourself a nice cool image (as shown above) for use in blogs, websites or whatever.  You have a couple choices of what you want in the image and then you get the code.  That is it.  Quite cool for those trying to show off their Twitter mojo.

SecretTweet – when you can’t say it with your name

SecretTweet is a nice anonymous way to tweet to the world without letting people know who said it.  The solo site owner/author states he does not even collect your IP address.   This site makes for an interesting read at anytime of the day.

The fun part is you can even reply to those tweets and the anonymous donor can see them if you folow this format.

Publicly Reply Send a tweet with the following format:
“@secrettweet 23584 your reply here.”
Reply to @secrettweet with the tweet number followed by your reply.  The tweet number is published at the beginning of EVERY tweet

So go read some funny, depressing and outlandish anonymous tweets.

Twesents – send Twitter presents

Twesents is another way to keep you using Twitter and playing nice with your virtual friends by sending virtual gifts.

Now the confusion.  There is no help so I walked the screen.  It simply asks you to choose a twesent.  But there was an amount of credits below each twesent you choose.  No mention of how you get/earn/find credits at all.  Then it immediately jumps to the next screen and asks for your Twitter username and password.  I am not saying it is not safe, just not well described.
