#twitpanto - where’s the backchannel? it’s behind you http://www.twitpanto.co.uk Wed, 14 Apr 2010 13:10:24 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Webby winning Twitpanto! http://www.twitpanto.co.uk/2010/04/14/webby-winning-twitpanto/ http://www.twitpanto.co.uk/2010/04/14/webby-winning-twitpanto/#comments Wed, 14 Apr 2010 13:10:24 +0000 Jon Bounds http://twitpanto.co.uk/?p=33 While it’s not made the final shortlist of five, there’s still a bit to be proud of as Twitpanto has been made an Honoree (US spelling) in the 2010 Webby Awards in the Net Art category.

As that shortlist includes big budget projects like BBC Blast, I don’t think we’ve done badly seeing as it was one crash hot web guy (that’s Matt, not me) and 20 odd (very) Twitterers on a cold December afternoon (which you can relive, of course, here).

In speech mode, we couldn’t have done it so well without the support of the Birmingham Hippodrome — or the hundreds of people that joined in during the play. Sincere thanks for going along with it.

To read all about both Twitter panto experiences there are a couple of long and detailed posts here.

Twitpanto Narrator (twitpanto on Twitter) was nominated for a Shorty Award
Uploaded with plasq‘s Skitch!

The Shorty Awards are awards for the best producers of “short, real-time content” — by which they mean tweets. Now, what is better on Twitter than a panto?


Vote for us in the “art” category, we’re ahead as we speak — the panel, bizarrely, seems to include MC Hammer.

The extremely clever Matthew Somerville has built this “set” for Twitpanto 2009 — it’s fantastic.

The Birmingham Hippodrome are sponsoring this year — they’re building us a proper set & will have some tickets to the real panto to give away.

You want in? Either leave a comment here, you’ll need to be free on the afternoon of Friday the 18th December:
