Aye! For historical reference (and for your thoughts as you think about SM
strategy) I'll bump a thread that Joe started a couple months ago to look
into DYKs as a potential ongoing social source. You can also read the old
thread in the archives (easier then trying to read through the quoted text

I like the idea, in the spirit of socializing on
wiki concepts within
social I'm a fan of doing tweets like this and using the "DYK" or "Did
you
know" terminology/pattern at the start of the post. Looks like we have room
to do either version at the front of this (though I haven't actually
checked that yet).
context, if you haven't seen it before which I imagine you have, is the front
page of English Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page> has
cycling content under the header of "Did you know". It's content that is
cycled every 8 hours and presents new or newly updated articles on the
project nominated by the community members.

With new hit TV show bringing The Muppets new
love, how about this bit
of trivia?
The old guys in the balcony on @TheMuppets are named Statler and Waldorf
after famous NYC hotels.
