Here's a new twitter experiment created by one of our friends and aimed at catching those words that you think you know but are just out of reach. From the creator, this is how it works:
TongueTip is an experiment in crowdsourcing the thesaurus. While a traditional thesaurus is normally useful, it has one major flaw: it requires a synonym as a point of entry. What if you can't think of a word that means what you're trying to say? That's where TongueTip comes in. Simply tweet @TongueTip with a description of the word or phrase you're trying to come up with, and TongueTip will repost your request to the TongueTip feed. Everyone following the feed will see your request, and if someone thinks they might know the word(s) you're looking for, they can reply to the TongueTip tweet; their suggestion will be automatically forwarded to you via direct message.
TongueTip is only a few days young and needs more followers, so go try it out!!! You can check it out here.
