OK, you got us: not every day. But every weekday, we’ll be updating this thread with the most interesting, relevant, and entertaining Tweet of the Day.
The best part? We’re accepting nominations and you can join the fun! All you have to do is tag your Tweet with the hashtag #MITOTD and we’ll include it our mix of potential Tweets of the Day.
The prize? Pride. Notoriety. Respect.
Of course, we’ll also be perusing the Twitterverse for our favorite Tweets without the #MITOTD hashtag, so not including it doesn’t prevent one from being selected.
We’ll update the Tweet of the Day every weekday at 3:30 PM with an attendant Tweet and Facebook post letting folks know. We’ve included the first one with an explainer below, so enjoy and share this blog with your friends. View more recent Tweets of the Day here.
