Hashtagstories – a literary memoir of social media trends

It’s almost a year since I started hashtagstories – microstories written with current Twitter hashtags.

Sorry? Stories written with what? A year ago this was weird even to me. But it was just so inspiring to combine the world of hashtags into a piece of a literary fiction that I gave it a try. I also wanted to use it as a way to enter English writing. It was looking like a pretty easy job to do – just collect meaningful, emotional hashtags and scrabble them into a story.

After a year I can tell you – hashtagstories are not easy. They are a hard work. I had to go through many Twitter-based services to find the best source of hashtag info. Previously I was using Hashtags.org, now it’s What the Trend. »»»

#vss Don liked that girl. He mailed her, posted, tweeted, j.mped, digged and waved. “Oh Don1991,” she pinged. “Can’t we just… skype?”

Looking for a partner to co-create avatar stories

Today @wembley shared a great link.

When you go to a Twitter profile of @420watch, you’ll see in a sidebar an awesome visual art made from animated avatars. The idea is brilliant, as well as execution. One of those ideas answering a question “what else can we do with the old good Twitter”. One of those inspirational ideas which make you think, until you come up with something new.

And here it is: an #avatarstory. A story from animated avatars. Each avatar is one letter. The letters can appear in a speed and order, which are best to tell a story. We’ve got 36 characters. It’s an average length of a #6wordstory.

I imagine to have one account, let’s say @avatarstory, which follows 36 other accounts created specifically for this purpose. A new story could come every weekend. It’s not as easy as tweeting it, you have to change 36 avatars, but it’s definitely much more interesting. »»»
