Creative Gallery Progress

I'm in the process of working on my project still. I changed my idea to making a video with a bunch of people's twitter statuses, and making my own rhyming poem. I will use "thelongestpoemintheworld" as a way to search for people's statuses, then put together my own unique poem that hopefully makes sense. I am in the process of finding these statuses and arranging them in an order that makes sense, but i realized it is taking alot longer than i thought it would take. If i am able to achieve exactly what I want then i think my project will tun out really good, but on the other hand these next few days I am going to have to work really hard to find another statuses that will make sense and rhyme together and then put them into a video-like format to display. It's important to note that I am taking "printscreen" shots of each twitter so you actually see their twitter pages so i can llsutrate these are real twitter msgs and not jsut me making them up. It's going to be a real challenge to find all of these rhyming statuses but i think somehow it cna be done.

Creative Response to Topic

I am not exactly sure what you mean by a “creative response” to my topic. I am guessing we will go over this in more detail but as of now I am guessing you want some type of creative visual to illustrate our topic. When I think about Twitter I realize that there are already so many creative illustrations out there that are representing Twitter. For example, there are many (467,000 to be exact) You Tube videos that are already created that poke fun at Twitter. I used two of them in my theory presentation. One was a cartoon that questioned the idea of “who sees our tweets?” and “who cares what you are doing?” Another video I displayed was a Rockin Robin Spoof about “tweeting all day long”. Both were comical and entertaining while still describing what Twitter is and why people use it. Along with Twitter YouTube videos there are websites like longestpoemintheworld.com that pokes fun at Twitter by using anonymous Tweets to create one long rhyming but nonsense poem. These types of creative responses to Twitter can help me generate my own idea for how to represent my topic. For today’s class, we were required to check out two different web pages you provided on syllabus and I feel that one of them could tie into Twitter and my topic. The dailybooth.com website is a site where people post updates about what they are doing at the moment in time (much like Twitter) but along with text they also have a picture of themselves doing what they are doing. Dailybooth.com may be a good way to illustrate Twitter because it not only has textual updates but has pictures for visuals. This site has generated some ideas I could possibly do, for example taking people’s pictures with a status update underneath. I could also attempt at making my own You Tube video demonstrating how tweets are lost within the this World Wide Web, but I am not sure what I would put in this video. I was also thinking about taking a mass amount of Tweets and creating my own poem that rhymes and makes sense at the same time while describing Twitter. These are the beginnings of my thoughts.

I really think I might ask people to jot down a sentence of what they are doing in that particular day, take their picture, then put all the pictures and thoughts together in a youtube video
