The buzz this morning (and possibly the entire week) is the new Twitter Tees section over at Threadless.
Essentially the idea is that you can now nominate tweets (your own or that of others) and have them made into a t-shirt. On Threadless, each shirt featured is always voted on by members, because the only way to get a shirt on the site is through votes, Ala American Idol.
It’s real easy to nominate a tweet on Threadless. Simply follow the steps below:
- Go to the Threadless Twitter section
- Register a free account
- Submit a tweet – yours, your friends, or your favorites, through the included stream built-into the Threadless site (see screenshots below)
Then wait approval, as nominees need to approve your nomination. (for tweets that are not your own)
That’s it. If you’re approved your tweet nomination will appear on the score page, which others will then VOTE on. The most popular makes it to the front page and gets made into a…twitter tee. (Oh! and you earn $500 big ones)
P.S. Also check out the cool twitter t-shirt blog.

Should a guy feel weird about nominating his own tweets?

LoL. Not at all. Which did you nominate? Do share. I nominated a funny tweet from a fellow tweep where he mentioned he “wished his Blackberry could make him coffee”. Or something like that. It was funny.

I nominated a tweet of mine that I thought was kinda funny, but I’ve since heard was not the first time it’s been seen on Twitter. Anyway, it’s…
The tweets are coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE!!!!

Like the Tweeterwall competitions, this could prove a lot of fun and seriously addictive!
Going to be watching my timeline with a whole lot more attention…
