On Twitter, you follow people; On Tinker.com, you follow events, news, people and topics.

Tinker.com aggregates and curates social media conversations and activity around popular topics, news, people, conferences and events. By tracking applicable keywords and #hashtags, Tinker centralizes relevant conversations from Twitter, Facebook, FriendFeed, Flickr, YouTube, and other micro-blogging platforms and allows users to stay on top of important topics and follow trends of interest to them.

Everyday micro-bloggers can use Tinker to create and curate their own personal or professional events, or to break local and national news. What’s an event? It could be anything—the Oscars, a new iPhone release, a book launch or a movie premiere—you decide. Events can be private, with invitations and permission required to join the conversation, or public social events where anyone can connect and participate. Tinker helps you promote your event by allowing you to embed a Tinker widget on your site or page. The embeddable version of Tinker helps you create conversation directly on your site and allows you to be the first to hear the latest buzz and share it with your users.

What’s more, Tinker’s trends section lets you see top events and breaking news, and charts which events are rising and growing in social popularity.
