Thanks for blogging about TwitterTitters – you offer some excellent advice and if it’s okay with you I would like to let you know that the steps you outline were/(and still are!) in place.

Media coverage included (achieved over a two-week period-ish!) a page lead in the Metro, a blink and you’ll miss it mention in the Guardian, newspaper reports across Staffordshire, the North West and the Midlands, plus regional BBC etc – pretty good going all things considered but there was a deliberate focus on Twitter as we wanted to see what would happen, there was massive support from bloggers and a facebook group.

As for being prepared for people to have a pop at us – we were and they did It wasn’t a journalist who had a go, rather a student tweeter, as well as another blogger – I ignored the former and responded to the latter, the comments were quite constructive.

In terms of “seeding” the message with other communities, we did, particularly with creative writers – a specific and planned target group.

The time element was the most tricky thing I think, but then the book is still for sale and I hope people continue to buy it. But yes you are right more time would have been the more sensible way to go . As you say, there were lots more hiccups behind the scenes so at the end of it, I was delighted to even see the product.

I wasn’t at the Social Media Cafe, that was my colleague Christina, and the “publisher” we brought on board was Lulu – the self publishing website.

Overall we achieved a lot – and as I say I hope we can continue to sell copies – I’ve had two books published previously and both have been steady sellers.

One thing I think I’d like to say is thank you to everyone who wrote, blogged or tweeted about TwitterTitters and if you would like to consider buying it, that would be proper bostin’

All the best to you and thanks again.

Not quite so straight forward for me as I have SKY+ and that apparently is encrypted and can’t be pumped into the mac. So freeview only. Bit of a pain to set up but a booster in the attic later and I had every freeview channel going and I have to say this set up is magic.

The mac does all the SKY+ style recording, I have 1 TB of storage via my Windows Home Server, so that is a lot of music/tv/pics safely archived. I’ve added Harmon Kardon Sound Sticks which provides sweet cinema style sound and great for the old iTunes music. But my fav feature has to be the ability to auto export TV progs to your iPod. The missus now regularly records the bbc news overnight and has it docked on her iPod for viewing in tea breaks at work. Amazing!

I know I’m a little ahead of the game here but I think it is interesting to see the TV & internet converging. Figures for a number of years have been showing that people are shifting from watching TV to using the internet it will be interesting to see the two merge and what people do with it… I know I’m loving it and I’ve only scratched the surface. Now how much for that PS3 to add Blueray….
