Re: [backstage] Twittering on

2009-02-09 Thread Soulla Stylianou
for me I have made some excellent connections via twitter both for work
purposes and for personal. I now have a modest number of followers and I
follower an equal number of people. I have connected on a social level with
Greeks/Cypriots around the globe who are interested in Web 2.0, twitterers
in my region and people who are interested in our Second Life work. In fact
on a better scale than linked in.

I also, I have to admit, follow the likes of Stephen Fry and @wossy. I even
followed Russell Brand just to see how quickly his number of followers would
rise over the hour, two hours and 24hrs etc.

I'm now connected to a wider audience of people which reflect my interests
and my local community and have in turn met some of them either in Second
Life and in Real Life.

As a result of a twitter we found out that we'd been mentioned in dispatches
by a presenter at an Ideas Performance event, I twittered back who then
asked me to write a blog post. As fortune would have it I was meeting the
client for a coffee and between the two of us we responded
http://ideaperformance.com/2009/01/27/birmingham-and-second-life/ all within
an hour of the first tweet.

Now thats what I call magic!

Soulla :)

I must admit I took one look at identi.ca and came straight out again. It
just looks messy compared to twitter. Perhaps I should take a second glance.
Saying that my twitter feeds my facebook page and I generally don't go into
facebook anymore although when I do I get a number of messages from people
who have responded to a comment I've made on twitter not on facebook! :)

PS Morning all. Snowing up here - again! :(

Re: [backstage] Lunchtime feedback idea

Lol.

This has made me laugh. Excellent idea. I would have used this when
listening to radio 1 yesterday (was it Greg Norman talking to Alex Krotowski
and calling Second Life a game! I was ranting at the radio wondering why
Alex didnt correct him in that its not technically a game as per the other
stuff they were discussing. You can't win anything in SL and similar genre
VW aremorphing into serious business/collaboration tools.

So yes Cow pat away. Love this idea.

 a) a bbc backstage lanyard
 b) a bbc backstage t-shirt.

Re: [backstage] API into iPlayer content

2010-09-30 Thread Soulla Stylianou
Folks I dont know if anyone is interested in either chatbot technology or
virtual worlds for teaching & learning. If you are email me direct as we're
doing a couple of seminars in london (7/10) & brum (13/10) if anyone is
interested.

Not sure if I should post this here but as we once did a chatbot for
backstage..

Apologies if I shouldn't as I don't wish to spam :(
