Suggest a title for our book!

Hi all. Today's Science 140 challenge is a bit different. We are currently very busy collating all your tweets in to topics and themes (a difficult job - there are so many brilliant submissions) and have had little time to think of a possible title for our book, which will be released in October this year, just in time for Christmas!

We want a quirky, fun title for our unique book - something that captures the imagination, that reflects the broad mix of topics but doesn't stray too far from its roots - science & nature. Remember, it's a random collection of tweet-sized science facts, definitions, biographies and jokes. We have some ideas, but felt that since twitter is making the book, then twitter should get the opportunity to name it too.

So, put your thinking caps on and give it a go. As usual, you can suggest a title on twitter, using the #Science140 hashtag or using the SUBMIT button above.

Legal bit: If a twitter sourced name is used in the final book, the person who submitted it will be credited but will forego all copyright of that title on submission using the #science140 hashtag.

  1. Science Blythe Bee Hive: they say when a question is asked of a live chat or on twitter, it is a hive mentality of finding the answer. Many people adoring together.

    Neat Tweets for Scitech Freaks
    Science : One for T (where the "t" is the Twitter logo)
    Science : Won for T (same idea, but suggesting a small victory for Science on Twitter by #science140)

    That help?
