Showing posts with the label twitter

Life imitates TV imitates art imitates the internet...

Apparently some wags on twitter are assuming the personas of characters on Mad Men, the beautiful to look at TV show populated by some pretty rotten characters (Don Draper is an IDIOT to cheat on Betty) Some think it might be at least partly an advertising gimmick by AMC to promote their show about advertising... At least one persona on twitter referred inquiries to Deep Focus, an ad agency representing AMC's Mad Men show... "But it does remain a mystery concerning just who is behind these 'Mad Men' characters. AMC says the posts are written by fans, but they seem to be suspiciously well-connected fans: in response to an interview request, Mr. Draper's character referred all questions to Deep Focus, a Web marketing agency that works for AMC." ... It's like a hall of mirrors.

At least the twitter users seem happy

Check out this tool that graphs what people are saying on Twitter in the most recent seven days. Apparently those obsessive folks who use twitter (I represent that remark) are generally pretty happy; I Compared Happy, Sad, and Bored; I don't know if they are happy because they twit or they twit because they are happy. More research is needed. http://twist.flaptor.com/trends?gram=happy%2Csad%2Cbored&table=0
