The Twitter Story Collaboration
This may be a good idea — or a total waste of time.
However, since I’m in to trying some things out, I’ve decided to start something called The Twitter Story Collaboration. The gist is fairly simple: I would like to see if there is any way to collaboratively create stories using Twitter.
Here’s how (I think) it will work:
- I’ll kick start it with the first line/quote/etc.
- You can then continue the story by adding the next lines/quotes/etc. by using the #tstory hashy.
- Just follow the story along (using #tstory) and when you see a place you want to contribute, get on in.
There really aren’t any rules per se. I would just ask that you not cluster tweet so that others can participate.
Again, it could be cool. It could be stupid. It could be a complete cluster. I have no idea. But, if you’d like to give it a go, please feel free.
I’ll keep you updated as this bit of whimsy progresses.

I was thinking the other day about how Twitter could be used as the sort of roundtable storytelling game I played back in elementary school – I figured someone had probably started something similar online, so I searched and arrived here.
I’m curious if you’ve developed the idea any further, or put it into action – I have some ideas that could turn it into scalable, interactive affair, and prevent so-called ‘clustering’ or the kind of e-vandalism common to these attempts.
Email me if you’d like to brainstorm the idea a little further, whether or not you’d be interested in turning it into a real project.
