How to cite a tweet: MLA style

In case you were wondering, official guidelines here. More on this over on insidehighered.

Good for MLA for coming up with a quick, clear, solution. This must mean they think twitter is here to stay and that it warrants its own special word ("Tweet") at the end of the citation (not "Web," which is what I would have expected). I guess that's because tweets aren't entirely web-based, going to phones, etc. Very interesting stuff for an MLA enthusiast like me.
