Introducing the new Twitter Laureate Hashtag!

Monday, June 15th, 2009

#TL has been taken over by a real estate application.  Rather than compete with a bunch of Realtors listing hot properties, we at Twitter Laureate have decided to shift to a new hashtag:  #4TL

Notionally this stands for “For Twitter Laureate”.

As you post going forward, please use the new tag to be included in the collection.

Don’t forget to participate in the Weather poetry for the week.  6/15 is the last day in the cycle.

Back in Business

Friday, June 5th, 2009

Twitter Laureate is shaking off the digital dust and starting up again!  It’s been a few months since we were active in our community-building efforts.  But now we’re back  in business.  We are excited to re-engage the creative community here on Twitter.

Tell your friends.  The Twitter Laureate website is back, the facebook page will get refresed, and most of all, @twitlaureate will start tweeting poetry back into your life.

Last time around we were interested in the poetry.  This time we are interested in YOU - the people.  What about poetry do you love?  Who are interesting people out there in twitter-land who are making poetry?  How can we bring fun, value and enrichment to your life?

This is the beginning… of something fun!

Twitter Laureate

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

Twitter Laureate is an experiment in community, poetry and brevity – 140 characters.

Each week, a new topic will be shared, and the twitterverse will be invited to share their creative expression through a single tweet – tagged with #TL for identification and inclusion.  Past topics include Twitter.com and e-mail.

New topics will be posted every Monday via tweets and on this website.

Much more is planned… stay tuned for more!
