That’s a fairly big number right? Well, it’s a slightly daunting number when you think about that number being actual people… And they’re all looking at you… Waiting on your every word. ‘Perform Monkey!’
Well, it wasn’t quite that bad, but following our The Tweet Goes On… post this week, I guest edited Creative Review’s twitter feed for one day yesterday. They had in excess of 374,000 followers before we took hold of the reins, and I’m glad to say that the number is still rising and it would seem as though their great magazine hasn’t been affected too much by my diatribe.
They must have liked some of the dross I was sending out though as they decided to blog about one of my finds — Posters. In Amsterdam. Nice.
Anyway. Big up to Neil and Mark from CR for giving us the oppurtunity to tweet for a day on their behalf, and a well done to the three previous guest editors before us this week: Visual Editions, Asbury & Asbury and Daniel Gray.
If you happened to miss the entire farce, below is a complete list of the #GuestEd tweets I sent out:
—

RT @NLAnt1 Does this count? I’m twittering from Hell. It’s another dimension, called work. So different than real life.
