It’s comparatively rare that social signals and content provide ‘answers’ to the questions which are represented by people’s keyphrase searches beyond simply validating or reinforcing editorial content; social content is very different to editorial content.

There are various directories of hashtags like TagDef, or Hashtags.org and you can also claim a hashtag (and add video and other media) at Twubs. Hashtags in combination with published times create twitterchats, or twitter parties.

Just a quick post before we creep into 2010. On the 25th of December Christmas Tweets – our twitter visualiser http://www.christmastweets.co.uk/ – achieved the accolade of site of the day on the FWA http://www.thefwa.com. What I love about it is it’s not worthy, it’s a great use of twitter, it looks great and it’s fun. The competition is fierce on the FWA so well done to everyone involved. While you’re there don’t forget to vote on the people’s choice award http://www.thefwa.com/pca2009/. Without trying to sway you, I voted for the Soapbox Racer for Red Bull by Less Rain. It’s a lovely idea, beautifully crafted. Happy New Year.

Our newest piece of work for Epson was uploaded onto youtube last night. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9sXhYlIfRY Huge thanks to Charles, Hanja, Haydn, Jamie and Nick. Enjoy.

I’m repping commercialism, AKA Santa, for our Christmas Tweets project. So I thought I should at least download the little guy and carry him around with me. Here’s my step by step guide to creating your own credit crunch gift idea for Christmas. Step One Go to http://www.christmastweets.co.uk/ and download your own Santa (or one of the other characters – I forget who they are now). Step Two Print that bad boy out. Step Three Cut Santa out whilst wearing your most festive hat. Mind your fingers kids! Step Four Fold up your little Santa. No tearing. Step Five Place on Martin “The Hit Man” Hearns’ head. Or any other inanimate object. Enjoy!
