Twits: Episode 1

Share on Twitter

The first episode of Washington Post’s “internet show” (not really sure what to call this one) called Twits launched the other day. To explain what it is I’ll just copy their own words:

“Finally, celebrity Twitter feeds get the attention they deserve: dramatic readings.”

Twitter and similar real time updates can be a good tool to express and consume information, but it is also a tool for extremely self absorbed people to get even more attention… And they do :)

Actually this does reminds me a bit of my own little attempted to summarise what people (not necesarly celebrities…) talk about on micro blogs called Mikrobloggar.se (in Swedish). Didn’t continue with that one though. But who knows, the site might come to life again in a different shape. I’ll just have to focus on the other pile of business ideas at the moment. Also if you haven’t seen Tweetweek (from which I got the idea to do something similar in Swedish) go check it out. Even though it seems like Julia Roy also got other things to do than telling people about what other people tweet these days.

We live in public

Share on Twitter

Last week on the flight to Stockholm I listened to an episode of Net@Night (part of the Twit-network) with Leo Laporte and Amber MacArthur.

As always the show was very interesting. This time though the show was a bit different, usually they talk about different tech headlines and invite one quest for an interview as a part of the show. This time the whole show was that interview. I understand why they couldn’t only make it a part of the rest since it was so interesting.

I won’t tell you what the whole interview was about (you’ll have to listen to it yourselves) but they talked to some of the people behind the upcoming movie “We live in public“. For sure it made me very eager to go and see it. Unfortunately though it seems like it will only be screened in the US, at least for now. I guess it will be possible to find it online though for people like me that have a hard time waiting…

“The Bunker” sounds and looks like a really scary place and the fact that I’m blogging about this, sharing it in my Twitter feed and probably also on Facebook makes me a part of it all doesn’t it. Internet can be a beauty but it can also be very scary and make me think about shut down, get offline and start growing vegetables on a farm far away from all this sharing and caring. One thing I do think this movie will do is to make all of us that sees it think about what we are doing online and if it really makes us feel good or if it is making us a bit mad…

If you want to follow We live in public – the movie to see what’s going on and when the movie will be available to you, they use all kinds of social media tools there are out there:

When you use social media and in this case also video not only for marketing purposes but also to actually do something to help people you get my attention.
