C4 Twitter Backchannel

Thanks to C4 Twitter-pal Alex Payne, we’re doing something special for C4[1].

Come the morning of Friday August 10th, the main reflector dish at Twitter world headquarters will be engaged and the C4 twitter account will become an official back channel (until the night of August 12th).

What does that mean? That means if you direct message C4, your message will be posted for everyone else who follows C4 to read. So if Gus Mueller types

d c4 wow I wish I had a fraction of wolf's taste in ties

into Twitterific, it will be echoed to everyone else who follows C4 as:

ccgus: wow I wish I had a fraction of wolf's taste in ties

from the C4 account.

Alex will be at C4, so pat him on the back and buy him a beer for making C4 cooler. Unless things go horribly wrong, then we can do that lynch mob thing.

Also: if you’re into IRC, Daniel Jalkut has a C4 IRC channel running. Do drop in.

My big fear: the ongoing thundering roar of 100+ Twitterific bird chirp sounds playing every minute. That can’t be healthy.
