The Black Box and Twitter

Wk 3 Discussion - A Twitter

Twitter and other microblogs are platforms, which means as long as you comply with their terms of service agreements, there are no limits to practical and artistic creations you can make on these sites. Take The Royal Shakespeare Company, for example. In 2010, they presented "Such Tweet Sorrow", a five-week Twitter production of Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet. 

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

• Select a series of Tweets or microblogs that achieved an artistic or practical goal.


• Compose a response in which you describe the author, content, purpose, and impact of the series of messages.


• Do the messages each convey a meaningful and independent idea when viewed in isolation? Why or why not?

Be sure to provide links to the Tweet/microblog series you are discussing, including the platform, account, and date(s) of the series.
