I don’t think I would follow a twitter only story because it would be too fragmented. It’s hard to express everything you want to say in a tweet.

I do think twitter is an exceptional way to compliment other storytelling methods. In a recent LG15: The Resistance event, the characters Twittered as they went. It worked well because the live camera (stickam) lost connection halfway through. But I want to see people and know them more deeply than you can in a tweet.

You are probably not going to find many cyberpunkish novels written by Internet entrepreneurs (do they have time?) let alone one that’s available via Twitter, so hear goes. Shanghai Dream – http://www.twit...m/shanghaidream

[...] TechCrunch featured mylifein140 on their website! Now it seems that some individual authors are exploring using Twitter as an alternative to the traditional novel. Professional author and freelance writer Nikki Katz has launched her own story called MyLifeIn140 – the tale of a “sixteen-year-old fictional character who learns that she can change her world around her, all by editing photos in her Yearbook room.” [...]

The idea of using Twitter for publishing in small chunks doesn’t need to be limited to fiction. For example, a lawyer could use Twitter to publish an article to his or her followers in 140-character segments over a period of a week or two. A lawyer or business person could even repurpose an article or book by publishing it over time on Twitter. Thanks for your articles on MyLifeIn140.

Twitter has become the text version of “Reality TV” online. I know so many people hooked on Twitter and “watching” people comment on the most mundane things or retort in some witty fashion. Will Twitter capture an audience for authors, dramas and other fictional mediums. I say yes. For goodness sakes, there are a bunch of people using the MadMen characters on Twitter and they have a huge following.

I think it’s an interesting concept. Not necessarily this audience, but let’s face it, how many of us read traditional YA novels? I’d be curious to know what the Tweens think. It seems pretty clean and at least it doesn’t use a ton of acronyms or “text” speak.

Interesting article…it seems there’s def a trend to use twitter to supplement storytelling as well, rather than being the primary story source. I’ve been following a new vlog-style series a la lonelygirl called the Hayley Project that has its main character tweeting her murder mystery investigation to her viewers. I think they’re trying to do it real-time with the videos.

I hope more vlog series start doing this…it feels far more ‘live’ and interactive than traditional blog-supported interactive storytelling.

Can you express complex ideas without (grammatically, syntactically) complex sentences? Henry James didn’t seem to think so Novels need periodic sentences, not the telegraph-speak of twitter. But a super-hero plot? That would appeal. Tweets are to novels as comics are to animation?

Miranda says it best . . . “fictional”. Before long, Ford will have an account setup as one of their newest hybrid vehicles updating about its gas mileage and MP3 capability. i.e. – “Got 38mpg this afternoon on I-45. My iPod seamlessly connecting to my stereo made the trip that much more enjoyable!”

Can’t we keep the tween market out of Twitter? At least one adult thing the MTV crowd won’t touch?

LOL I’d follow a superhero Twitter. Hmm might be a neat way for Comic companies or even TV shows if they kept in character . It might at the very least be interesting as long as it wasn’t too spammy. Perhaps twittering part of a sections (or in between sections) of a comic book as a month progresses that is currently onsale. For TV shows keep in character but maybe talk about something that is building in an upcoming show..perhaps a small story arc.

Imagine it would be something like this.
