Want your definition to appear all over the Twitterverse?
Sure you do! But your definition has to be well-written. Here are some guidelines.
- Be informative, clear and concise. < 140 characters is best.
- Do not put your Twitter handle in the defintion or originating user field. It will be edited out. Log in and you will be appropriately credited.
- When discussing a person, add background information. Are they a singer or an actor? If they passed away, why were they famous?
- Use dates in addition to "today and tomorrow", i.e. "released today, Aug. 23, 2009"
- Don't cuss. Go light on snark.
- No HTML tags allowed.
- URLs like http://www.google.com/ will be auto-linked and no-followed.
As an example: "The new Paramore CD, Brand New Eyes, releases today, Sept. 29, 2009.". Short, simple and to the point.
