Tagalus is an attempt to organise the unorganised and user defined twitter world. It helps you in defining a hashtag (or simply tag) for Twitter, Flickr and YouTube.

Hashtags are a community-driven convention for adding additional context and metadata to your tweets. They’re like tags on Flickr, only added inline to your post. You create a hashtag simply by prefixing a word with a hash symbol: #hashtag. Using a hashtag, we can add tag to our tweets.  So, if I post a tweet with #india; I want to tell everyone that this tweet is related to the topic “India”. You can search for the tagged tweets using Twitter’s Search page . To know more about hashtags view this.

As hashtags are community-driven, so sometimes many of us are totally unknown about a specific hashtag. Here, Tagalus plays an important role. Using Tagalus :

• You can know about any hashtag. Just tweet like this :
  @tagalus define hashtag
  and tagalus will reply you with the most popular defination of that tag.
• You can define a hashtag. To define a hashtag, post a tweet :
  define hashtag as description
  and you are done!

Moreover, You can do the above two tasks by visiting the homepage of tagalus – http://tagal.us . Here, you can vote for a certain defination of a hashtag defined by other users. Every tag page has the listing of definitions that users have recommended and  options to vote them as accurate.

You can see the latest tweets associated with that hashtag on the tag page.  Tagalus also lists Images from Flickr and Videos form YouTube related to that hashtag.
