FREE via twitter

Thanks Mashable for sharing this twitter based free stuff finder

Finding Free Stuff via Twitter Just Became Really Easy

August 29th, 2009 | by Ben Parr14 Comments

Doesn’t it just feel great when you get stuff for free? Free t-shirts? I’ll take five. A contest to win a Macbook? I’m game. There’s even an eBay for free stuff now.

Still, finding free stuff is tough because it isn’t easy to find all the great free offers on the web. More and more though, people have turned to Twitter (Twitter) to help me find those deals. Many (myself included) have saved a bundle on quality clothing and free giveaways. But Freezly looks to be the coolest and most efficient way to find free stuff yet, and its discovery algorithm is powered by tweets.

Freezly is a lot like Tweetmeme (Tweetmeme) in that it finds link and tweets and shows you their popularity based on retweets. Freezly though only picks up free giveaways and items with its algorithm. You can see the hottest free deals being shared on Twitter, the most recent deals Freezly has found, and an archive of past giveaways.
