What is this?
Twasebook is a web application aimed at language
learners. Using the
Microsoft
Translator and
Twitter Search
APIs,
it allows you to discover how particular words in your
target language are used "in context" by displaying the
latest
Twitter posts
containing those words, and a
translation of each post into your own language (currently
set as English, but
more languages are coming soon).
Hints & Tips
- Search for common words/phrases - the more common the word
or phrase you are searching for, the more likely it is that
people are using it on Twitter.
- Keep search terms down to single words or very short
phrases.

Twasebook is currently a personal project, and therefore I
need to pay hosting/general running costs out of my own pocket.
So, if you like using the app enough to chip in a few quid,
bucks, or euros, feel free to do so using the Paypal donation
button below. If not, that's fine!
