“TheBestThingThisYear.com”: Choose Your Words Wisely!

TBTTY - TheBestThingThisYearWhat would you say if you could only speak once a year? What if you could share something amazing with thousands of people, but you could only do it once a year?

My grandfather used to say: “Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt!” While I’d prefer to not be perceived of as a fool, I have yet to master his advice. In my quest to honor his words, I discovered TheBestThingThisYear. In short, TBTTY is  a members-only mailing list with one special difference: once a member posts, they must wait one year before they can post a second time.

How do I post?
Send your post in an via e-mail.

What should I post?
Something that can’t be read anywhere else.

When should I post?
On a slow news day.

What happens when this list gets too big?
It will certainly be interesting to find out.

You can also check out discuss.thebestthingthisyear.com, where folks are starting to discuss posting etc. With over a thousand members already, there have been two posts so far and users should expect close to one a day as the list continues to grow.
