ATLANTA – Definition 6, the Southeast’s largest independent full-service interactive marketing and eCommerce agency, today launched TwitterINGO, the first gaming application developed for the popular social networking micro-blogging site, Twitter.

The desktop application is similar to BINGO and is complete with 25 keywords on a board. TwitterINGO displays tweets from people that players follow and the board is automatically updated when a keyword is included in an incoming tweet.

Games will be played every Tuesday, beginning at 3 P.M. E.D.T. and will last until the first person wins. The first game is scheduled for tomorrow, July 27.

“TwitterINGO promotes social gaming and tests the collective knowledge of current industry trends and events discussed by the people you follow,” said Michael Kogon, CEO and founder of Definition 6.

“This application is an ideal way to extend the relevancy of Twitter in a fun and engaging way, and it helps users see if the people they are following are talking about things that are really relevant.”

Keywords for the game have been pre-selected based on industry relevant topics and each week new trending terms will be added and included for game play.

A person wins once five keywords – across, down or diagonal – are highlighted. Winners will then receive an “I Won TwitterINGO” badge that can be placed on their Facebook page or shared over Twitter.

The game is available for download at www.twitteringo.com. In order to play, users must also follow Definition 6 ( twitter.com/Definition6) on Twitter to ensure they receive an initial tweet to start the game.
