The buzz this morning (and possibly the entire week) is the new Twitter Tees section over at Threadless.

Essentially the idea is that you can now nominate tweets (your own or that of others) and have them made into a t-shirt. On Threadless, each shirt featured is always voted on by members, because the only way to get a shirt on the site is through votes, Ala American Idol.

It’s real easy to nominate a tweet on Threadless. Simply follow the steps below:

• Go to the Threadless Twitter section
• Register a free account
• Submit a tweet – yours, your friends, or your favorites, through the included stream built-into the Threadless site (see screenshots below)

Then wait approval, as nominees need to approve your nomination. (for tweets that are not your own)

That’s it. If you’re approved your tweet nomination will appear on the score page, which others will then VOTE on. The most popular makes it to the front page and gets made into a…twitter tee. (Oh! and you earn $500 big ones)

P.S. Also check out the cool twitter t-shirt blog.
