Twitter Application: Twubs

For those who use twitter as a way of communicating with others, you might be interested in the web-based software program called Twubs. Twubs is based on the #hashtag system that is part Twitter. According to their website….

A great feature of Twubs is that its usefulness is not limited to Twubs that have been “created”. A Twub is created anytime someone uses a #hashtag in the global Twit-o-sphere. Just type the #hashtag in the box above or add it right into the URL and you will be taken to the Twub and all its content already aggregated from tweets. Don’t know what #hashtag to use? Use our search methods below to find Twubs that interest you!

Just to make sure that everyone understand what a #hashtag is, it is the process of a Twitter user creating a word combination that is proceeded by the “#” symbol. Many Twitter users use this technique to track the popularity of their topic. Examples of #hashtags are below:

• #SocialTalk
• #TwitInterviews
• #Women2Follow
• #FridayFollow

So when you are tweeting (the process of sending messages via Twitter) all you have to do is to include a tag in your tweet and other people searching for the same tag will be able to find it when they use Twubs or other Twitter 3rd-party applications.
