Twictionary: A Twitter Dictionary Wiki

April 21, 2008

Today on Twitter there was some sort of discussion about some word that was a mashup/mangling of “tw” plus some other word. I decided there should be a directory of such words. A twictionary, if you will.

And thus was born Twictionary, a wiki-based glossary for twitterisms.

It’s on PBWiki, which means you need a PBWiki account to edit the site. Fortunately the accounts are easy to setup, and once setup you can login with OpenID (yay!). Send a Twitter direct message to ahockley or verso and we’ll grant you write access to the wiki.

Contribute and enjoy!

I need a twitter tool that helps shrink long sentences so they fit in the allowed 140 character twitter space, i.e. change long words into short 2 or 3 letters…

Try eliminating all the vowels. It has worked for the Jews fro 5000 years.
