How long is it before a plays ending is changed by the audience

http://www.flickr.com/photos/batmoo Your sitting in the Theatre watching a play – just before the interval – the actors stop, come out of character and tell you to get your phones out and to vote using Twitter on the way that  the play should end.

Turning a fail into a win

After the last Social Media Cafe Liverpool last February 2011, I tried to create a video of the conversation between Alistair Houghton and Christian Payne aka Documentally. The video from this was the first attempt – somewhere along the line the encoding had gone wring and and gave me this really speeded up version of the interview. This was an Epic FAIL.

Fail to plan, plan to fail

But I loved the funny fast paced images and decided this video would take a different route to than straight to the recycle bin. I asked @Methoddan if he had any open source audio that I could use, he did, so I cut it up and overlaid or underlaid it (whichever it is), recorded a bit of my audio to give is some use at Social media Cafe Liverpool.

I hope you like my turning a fail into a win.

But not knowing how didn’t stop me  from hunting down some useful links and products.

Those turkeys don’t come cheap more like going gobble gobble

The idea of getting my friends to pay towards their gifts has often appealed to me and you but now it can become a reality.  So read on…

Show me the money…. Getting your programme brochure on your website

Issuu LogoWhy isn’t your programme brochure on your website?

That is the question I ask myself often when looking at events to go to, instead I have to scrawl through pages of your site looking for times and dates for a specific event. As a hardened culture vulture I’m willing to do this but what if I was just a casual browser looking for something to fill my time.
