I stumbled across MediaSalt today (which I LOVE!) and discovered a fun new project they launched today called the #TwelfDays Of Christmas where they are asking people to publicly encourage one person on Twitter each day for the next 12 days.  As further described on their blog…

Why? We’ve all experienced the occasional self-centeredness, rants, and one-way conversation Twitter can bring out sometimes. Let’s join together to change that during the next 12 days.

I love it! It’s creative, inspirational and fun!

They’re asking participants to tag their tweets with #twelfdays so they will show up in the project twitter stream at twelfdays.com.

I’m in and can’t wait to join together with others to publicly acknowledge, appreciate and encourage 12 folks!  Want to see who makes my list? Make sure you’re following me on Twitter!  I encourage you to blog and tweet about it as well.

I’ll also be updating this post with my #twelfdays tweets over the next 12 days.
