Twitter Dress June 18, 2010

Filed under: Uncategorized — Jayla @ 11:31 am

Hmm never thought the words twitter and dress would ever come together. However, can you expect anything less at the Grammy’s? Music artist Imogen Heap had a dress designed specially to allow for fans to “accompany” her that night. It had it’s own twitterfeed where her fans could use the hashtag #twitdress.

Wowsers what next hey!  When I first heard about twitter, it was always associated with celebrities. A lot of people use twitter for that purpose (to see what celebrities are up to). However, the reason why I think this story is kind of interesting, is that maybe as educators, we could use this concept of bringing people with us, to all of the places we go. We don’t necessarily need clothes made to make this happen, instead mobile phones etc. make that possible. For me, twitter is just an at home thing, but I would like to challenge myself more, (once I get a little bit more connected) to use it in other places, for the benefit of others ex. conferences, guest speakers etc.)

Just for some laughs- the article  in which I found this story, had a note on the bottom about what might we see next- Lady Gaga facebook shoes?? haha!

    Haha well that is just so interesting. I don’t know how people come up with these things. I guess they are artists and are therefore really creative already. I think you made a good point that you would need to challenge yourself to use twitter in different places. Because I think that that’s what a person needs to do, challenge themselves for growth. Otherwise it will likely never happen!

    That is crazy! But I really like the way you thought of it as bringing people with you.

    Yah you know, sometimes the crazy bizzare ideas, can actually be a seguay into something really good! Just have to be creative, and keep your mind on what is authentic and useful.
