We're gushing right now having WTH?! being compared as "a parallel to Ward Cunningham’s original purpose of the wiki". We realize there are other tools out there for tracking and defining hashtags, but we felt the wiki was the best way to share and disseminate the information. Also, we're continuing to make improvements based on user feedback (like being able to submit definitions to the wiki via public Twitter reply). Thanks for the review.

Sometimes a wiki is slower than another option. ;) Another (and better, IMHO) compendium of hashtags is tagal.us
