One of the things that makes Twitter so valuable is how it can be used as a problem-solving resource. In less than 140 characters, you can article a problem and then have it widely distributed to see if anyone can give you an answer.
TwTip is looking to make this process more efficient with a new service based on aggregating tips people leave on Twitter. If you’re looking for help, you type keyboards into a search box to see if anyone within the Twitter-sphere has provided a tip on it.
After spending some time on TwTip, it’s a pretty good resource tool. It’s not perfect – for example, a search for hockey only returned one result – but it’s definitely got a lot of potential. A search for “Wordpress” kicked back a wave of tips.
TwTip also features a “Shake it Up” button that generates random tips.
Torun said the TwTip started a a personal project after he began putting tips on Twitter and got interested in other people’s tips. “That inspired me to find more tips and I designed & developed a bot which fetches interesting tips from Twitter,” he said. “After a while, the results were quite nice and I decided to make it public.”
