It is for all the shorthand created due to the character limitations of Twitter, IM clients, SMS and more.

Twittords was conceived due to the volume of new creative words being generated by Twitter users. Twittords was launched recently on April 20th, 2009. Add a Word to Twittords Due to twitter's popularity, when you add a word it will link to your twitter profile. The Twitterverse, IM and SMS users have created their own lingo, find and add your best and be one of the first to add the latest words.

New services built around Twitter appear daily. Many would ask why use Twitter in the first place, and it appears that one answer is to think of it as a platform. Companies and individuals like StockTwits are using it as such. Here is how they explain their service:
    StockTwits is an open, community-powered investment idea and information service. You can think of it as Bloomberg for the little guy and gal. Eavesdrop on what traders and investors are talking about RIGHT NOW or contribute to the conversation and build your reputation and following as a savvy market wizard.
    You can follow others, as you normally would in twitter, and follow specific stock tweets as a $ precedes the stock ticker. For example $EBAY. If you would like to post a general comment, not about a specific stock, you simple add a space and two $$ at the end of your tweet. For example Today's market volume is extremely low, any ideas why? $$. They also have 5 predefined streams for discussions.

Many other tools are available to track those conversations, see a list of Twitter tools. Mr. Tweet Tool I ran across Mr. Tweet which suggests a list of influencers that you are not following based on their own algorithm. It also creates a list of followers that are following you but you are not following them. Both of these lists are useful and they create a web page with this information generated automatically. What an easy way for you to review these two lists. All you have to do to get started is follow @mrtweet. It can take a week or two but they will send you a direct message to your twitter account with a link to the reports. Here are two screenshots of what you will find (I covered the individuals information). Influencers I am not following Here is a screen shot of what they provide on each individual they suggest I take a look at. They auto generated a list of 200. If you compare the statistics on this individual at the top of the influencer list with the individual at the top of the follower list below you will see the influencer has over 20,000 followers. Obviously from that one example and the others in the list there is a distinct difference between their algorithm for creating the lists. influencersinmynetwork Those who Follow me that I am not Following Take a look at this screen shot of the list of those that follow me but I am not following. Mr Tweet auto generated a list of 127 and ranked them. They ranked them in an order that they thought I would like to review them in, I am impressed by their algorithm as I find it incredibly useful. Statistics were provided on each one, a link to their site, their twitter page, followers, those they follow and more. followersiamnotfollowing1 Usefulness of Mr. Tweet I found this tool to be well worth the wait, and it was free. Definitely follow @mrtweet and here are the creators if you with to follow them as well: @mingyeow and @ambivalence.
