İnci Sözlük is a Turkish online social community website. Since its foundation, it has been gaining popularity.It is primarily known for being the first to announce an anomaly in Twitter's code on May 10, 2010.^[1] Unscrupulous users were able to exploit this bug to add unconfirmed users to members' "following" list. The community also abused the translation function of facebook by mass-voting for dirty and suggestive translations. On the official webpage of the community there are stars for famous pranks they organized. The website is often compared to 4chan and regarded as the Turkish version of it.^[2]^[3] Their famous slogan is "Altını şer, incisi ker."

The community is also widely blamed for the hoax regarding Atilla Taş, a Turkish pop singer who they started labelling as Greek after the release of his Gangnam Style parody "Yam Yam Style", which was widely criticised in Turkey.^[4]^[5]
