Museum Of Modern Tweets

Failed to get enough culture in this week? You may not have a chance to run off to the MOMA or The Met right now, but you can definitely take a moment to visit The Museum of Modern Tweets.

Creative & Social Filtering

I definitely think that will all the publishing platforms out there, we’ll see more and more around creative (and social) filtering. (Maybe we can even convince brands to play in this space?)

In the past, athletes and teams had agreements with the press, [...]

The first Twitcom?

Looking for the next creative endeavor to come out of Twitter? Twitter novel writing not doing it for you?

Maybe it’s time you tuned in to some Twitcom hilarity – that’s a “Twitter sitcom” for the uninitiated. An anonymous Twitterer has created a tongue-in-cheek world full of love, betrayal, heartache, and general information over-sharing.
