Recycled Tweets!

RECYCLE YOUR BORING TWEETS

GetTRASHED.org and McKinney have teamed up to save the planet and cyberspace one tweet at a time.

Recycle all the boring tweets polluting your Twitter feed with Re:cycled Tweets. Take your friends’ cyber-garbage and turn it into cyber-gold. And that’s not just clever wordplay: for every tweet you recycle, McKinney will donate a penny to getTrashed.org. Think about it. You recycle your followers’ boring tweets, get all of your friends to recycle their followers’ boring tweets, and that’s a lot of birdseed for getTRASHED.

Do this:

@reply to someone who posted a lame tweet.

Copy and paste their lame tweet, and add #recyclethis.

Click reply.

Recyledtweets.com will recycle it and send them a new, transformed tweet recycled from the characters of the original tweet. You’ll add another penny to the total being donated to getTRASHED.org.

But it’s up to you and the rest of the Twitterverse.

So get busy and take out the recycling—one tweet at a time
