Twitter Laureate is a way to have fun with technology, create a new form of art and find interesting new ways to meet people.

Imagine the enjoyment of participating in a global poetry lab, collaborating with people all around the world to create beautiful or funny or witty poems.  Then meeting the people you’ve been working with to connect and chat.

Imagine having your contribution published on the internet and opened for comments and evaluation from others.  Yes, its terrifying, but also exciting.  Every week, someone will take top honors… That someone could be you!

Imagine what it would be like to be a part of a new democratic art form.  Twitter Laureate seeks to engage the passion of the masses to create and publish art in a way never seen before.

It is easy to start…

1. Start using twitter (if you haven’t already)
2. Follow @twitlaureate to get notified of all the updates and weekly topics
3. When you post your contribution, include the tag #4TL to have the filters pick it up

Twitter Laureate is a collaborative project envisioned by @denthewise and @hyermish.
