This weekend I went on a social media binge. A social media binge is the moment when you forfeit sleep and the rest of reality for a few hours as part of the social media. For the purpose of this particular challenge I set myself two pass times. The first of these was to twitter and the second was to seesmic. If you read previous posts you’ll find out what twitter.
Today I went over to try the ASUS EEE and it’s too small. Its got the feel of a child’s toy more than anything else. I’m a touch typist, I don’t look at the keyboard when I’m typing, I appreciate feminine beauty as it walks past me in the computer room. I look around and the content keeps appearing on the screen. What this means is that getting used to such a small keyboard would take quite a bit of time.
For the past two days I’ve been monitoring and participating in the seesmic conversations and it’s been a really interesting experience. There are so many different people. You’ve got some people living in San Francisco, others in South East Asia, France, Australia and England and they’re all coming to chat via video. This chat is different from other chats in that it’s recorded segments. It’s about people speaking about key parts of their day.
This afternoon Nik Butler, Loudmouthman sent me a text message asking whether I was free to go to the London Geek Dinner where Robert Scoble would appear. Of course I was free so I decided to go to the event and met a number of people. The first person I met was Robert Scoble for this particular event. He was standing at the door and as I came up he welcomed me into the room, we shook hands and I got his business card.
The film Juno was screened to a crowd of bloggers of which both Loudmouthman and I were part of. As a result it gave us the perfect opportunity to do a twittervox. The video can be found here for direct download. After meeting with Nik Butler and others for the screening of the film Juno several tweeters meet up at the Union bar to discuss both the film and other topics Those present were danacea of Forbidden Planet, Loudmouthman of Loudmouthman.
Last time I went to the cinema I was in Paris and my name was in the credits. This time I was at the 20th Century Fox offices on Soho Square in London as a guest, along with Loudmouthman, Suzymiller, Danacea, Rupert Howe, Sizemore and many other social media participants. We were invited to preview the film Juno, which will be out in British cinemas around the 8th of February 2008.

I normally have: -Cat, large and fierce -Macbook Pro -iPhone There’s also an unused Treo 650 within reach. Then again, everything’s within reach of the bed in my apartment… I know I sleep better actually when the laptop isn’t near the bed however.
Mobile phone… Google reader, Yeigo, Facebook, Twitter, MXit, Gmail
Laptop lives by the side of my bed, mobile phone wakes me up in the morning and then I summon the engery to get up by checking my email and overnight Twitters on my Blackberry
We’re living in a permantly more wired world and our conversations are no longer reserved to the workplace, bar or ski slope. As a result electronic devices are making their way into the bedroom more and more frequently. How many of you are on twitter. Is twitter the first person you say good morning to. Are you a Seesmic morning person or a seesmic goodnight person. Here are the answers I got within a few minutes.
Yesterday I decided that I would track how many tweets I receive within a 24hr period. The result is not that bad. Over that period 917 tweets transited through my timeline. These tweets are sent according to the time of day. Some of them are sent during the Australian morning, European morning and goodnight time for America. As a result there should be some visible peaks at certain times of day.
