1. Cthalloween

   This Twitter based netprov was organized, launched, and led by a transmedia storytelling guru, responsible for numerous similar events in entertainment media. It arises out of a pun, and a fascination with H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulu stories, famous for their mythos, iconography, and verbal style. This alternate reality game is fascinating to reconstruct 3 years after the event because of the challenge in capturing such a distributed event it was documented in a variety of Web services and pages that are no longer available, except through services like the Internet Archives.

2. Bruno Latourbot

   This Twitter bot provides random sentences from Bruno Latour’s published writings (translated into English). Its operations don’t seem to be entirely automatic or completely random because it doesn’t post on an exact mechanical schedule, it makes a different number of postings each day, it occasionally skips a day or two, and it doesn’t seem to repeat sentences. This suggests that there may be more than one actor in the (social) network, consisting of a text-mining program and a human being running it, selecting interesting results and posting them on Twitter. It is only fitting that this kind of cyborg bot tribute be offered to Latour, whose principle of “generalized symmetry” led him to study “the productions of humans and nonhumans simultaneously” (We Have Never Been Modern 103).

4. Twitterwurking

   This guest performance in the New Media Scotland Twitter account during her residency in July 2008 featured a daily tweet for each day of the month— making a sequence of 31 silky lines mezangelle.

   _Twitterwurking_comprised of sequential “tweets” posted via a microblogging platform called Twitter. The work itself was written in my mezangelle language- a type of merging of programming languages/code with poetic elements. The Twitterwurk sought to incorporate specific users into the narrative by typing the “@” symbol before their name. The users were then made aware of this focused reply and thus deliberately enfolded into the tweetstream/project.

   Quoted from I ♥ E-Poetry and "_Twitterwurking_" documentation.

5. #OutsideUrDoor

   exhibited via a Live Trans-Reality Performance Event held simutaneously via Twitter streams, The Web, and geophysically at the Inspace Gallery as part of Inspace’s “No One Can Hear You Scream”/The Third International Conference on Interactive Digital Storytelling: “…the knitting 2gether of the #OutsideUrDoor synthetic/real-time action created through the @MrShamble, @Nozfera2 and @vvolfmaan characters via multiple projections/soundtrack/linked c[l]ues with geophysical audience participation [and those exclusively in the twittersphere] was marvellous. the [micro in more than 1 sense] narrative gradually unfolding in front of a live audience based in Scotland…just…mixed reality ftw:)…this type of net-native work[ing] really extends + [weirdly] collapses so many conventions/distinctions.”

6. @Jhave2

   For the past three years, Jhave has been using his Twitter account as a platform for a poetic constraint. Whenever a person follows him (that is, not a 'bot) he writes a tweet poem that is exactly 140 character long. As one can see in All My Tweets, he had started this practice before, but committed to it on February 8, 2010-- "continuing the anti-pragmatic stance of twitting (doesn't that sound absurd?) only whn followed by a non-robot and always with exact letters"-- and has since adhered strictly to the constraint.

7. @frodegrytten (microfictions on Twitter)

   Hver dag fra 2011-2013 posted Frode Grytten svært korte noveller på 140 tegn til Twitter. Ofte brukes journalistiske konvensjoner, som å angi alder på personene i parantes, og nesten alltid er tematikken trist.

8. #Hvisjegvarhvit

   #Hvisjegvarhvit (translated: #ifiwerewhite) is a norwegian hashtag that turned up in my twitter feed the evening of 19. March 2013. The twitter user @AbuHus started to post tweets about his experiences of being a colored person in Norway. His first tweet said: “#ifiwerewhite people would believe me when I say I am from Norway”. Soon several colored twitter users used the hashtag to tell stories from their lives as colored Norwegians. Through generalizing how white Norwegians act towards colored people also white Norwegians could get a feeling of how it feels to be generalized on behalf of your skin color. This wordplay shows how collaborative creativity can arise in social media based on the social relations in the Norwegian community. Among funny and entertaining tweets about being colored in Norway there is a recurring theme telling a about a reality that white Norwegians do not experience. We are not asked questions or being regarded with suspicion just because we are white. @AbuHus gave the colored Norwegians a voice which reached beyond twitter, and was noted by papers like Aftenposten and Dagbladet.

9. @everyword

   @everyword is a Twitter bot that tweeted every word in the English language, in alphabetical order, one at a time, every half hour. <@everyword started its task in late 2007 and completed it in 2014. Along the way, it picked up over 100,000 followers and inspired dozens of parodies and imitations. The project, initially inspired by John F. Simon's Every Icon, was an exercise in the potential synergies of social media and experimental writing techniques extending over time: What happens when single words, invested with their own lexical context, are juxtaposed with ever-changing, personalized Twitter feeds? How does social media as a channel shape and afford the presentation of writing?
