Freezly Indexes Twitter Giveaways

twitter giveaways Twitter is currently that popular that it makes sense for companies to use it to promote some of their products. These promotions are usually linked to giveaways which can be followed easily by performing a Twitter search for terms like giveaway, giveaways or free offers. It does require some manual work by the user which includes opening the Twitter search page and entering the search terms. Twitter is also known for its large userbase who also post messages about giveaways which are not necessarily linked to promotions on Twitter.

Freezly is a new web service that automates the process of finding giveaway messages on Twitter. It does that by searching for and indexing Twitter messages that contain specific keywords and probably also by following certain Twitter users who only post information about new giveaways in their tweets.

The giveaways that are displayed at Freezly are divided into a hottest category – which is also the default category that is displayed – and a just in category which sorts the giveaways by time of posting with the newest ones on top.

Each giveaway displays the title, description and number of tweets that it has received so far. The titles are links that point directly to the source of the giveaway. The search form at the top can be used to find specific giveaways, for example beta keys, hardware or company specific giveaways.

It would be nice if the website would offer categories that would automatically contain sorted giveaways to make it easier for the user to find giveaways of interest. Freezly should also think about offering an RSS Feed to make it easier to follow the latest giveaways that are posted on the site. Freezly via A New Morning.
