Twitter Dictionary Definitions
1 points by unfair 5893 days ago
When I use Twitter through the web I see dictionary definitions of Twitter related web apps on many pages - which seems like a good avenue for advertising. Unfortunately I can't find any information on where these terms come from - are they submitted, or just chosen by Twitter staff?

Examples:

Top·sy n. a search engine powered by tweets.

Cad·mus n. a tool to find the most relevant tweets in your timeline.
