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.
