As we kick off the Twitalyzer Community idea we wanted to see if we could get your collective help with something!

We’d really like to start getting more people tagged in Twitalyzer. Tagging makes the application amazingly more powerful and useful, but we have not done a good job clarifying the how’s and why’s of tagging. While we work that out, we want to have a contest!

The contest is to see who can add the tags “Social_Media_Expert”, “Politician”, and “Celebrity” to the greatest number of Twitter users in our system. All you need to do to add the tags is Twitalyze someone you know to be in one of those three categories, click any of the “Tag” buttons on their profile, and add the text. For example:

The only real requirement is that, you know, the person you’re tagging is a social media expert, politician, or celebrity. We’ll let you be the judge, but we will also spot check your work and disallow/remove inappropriate entries so don’t be that guy, okay? To keep track of who is doing the most tagging we’ve created this uber-cool Top 25 Twitalyzer Tracker list that you can segment by geographic location or tag applied. Check out the early results for all three categories:

1. Twitalyzer Tag “Social_Media_Expert”
2. Twitalyzer Tag “Politician”
3. Twitalyzer Tag “Celebrity“

The prize for the “top tagger” in each category on February 1, 2010 will be a free month in the “Featured User” slot all throughout Twitalyzer (a $100 USD value!!!) That and the warm feeling you’ll get when you go to bed knowing you did something really awesome for the Twitalyzer Community. Go forth and tag, Twitalyzers!
