Should we Twitter the Shootouts?
We were wondering if people were interested in having us Twitter the events and impressions of various shootouts here at Audio Federation.
For those of you who have a real life, Twitter is a very popular place to post comments and everyone has something somewhere between a Blog and a Chat Room, into which to post lots of very short messages.
The idea would be for us to post play-by-play about what is playing, what cables are being listened to, what peoples impressions are, and try to answer people’s questions during the shootout.
Anyway, just wanted to see if there was any interest. If there is not, that’s OK as it does take some amount of effort on our part – but if there is lots of interest, then it could be fun and you all out there might have some really good questions and ideas that will help the shootout be more effective at defining the differences between various components and cables.
I’m not at all sure anything useful can be said about a comparo in 140 characters or less.
Hi Dave!
Well, it would be a WHOLE LOT of 140 character posts.
It would be cool if we got a lot of people here [at least me, maybe Mike Mallory could bring his, Kevin to type on mine when I’m not using it, etc], with their laptops, messaging about what is happening and people out there asking questions.
Otherwise, I’ll just concatenate all those 140 character posts into one loooong blog post.
That’s not a really good fit. You’d do better to make AudioFed a Facebook entity, get people to become fans, they’ll be notified of new developments, make comments, etc.
I would use Twitter to notify end results or have fans determine what product to evaluate.
Thanks Pierre, Thanks Dave,
Interesting ideas.
I guess there are two things here: real-time interaction during, say, a shootout; and building a presence in other spheres that give people more ways to ask questions and, in general, participate.
We’ll probably do both.
Anybody else have ideas?
