This is interesting because of the soooo many scams that promise you that you can earn money sitting at home. In parenthesis (hidden) it is implied that you dont have to work hard to do it.
This is one that is not a scam but it also highlights that it was all hard work.
It is a millennial project that earns money because millennials+ are watching.

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:
Alison Willmore: '"Mob City," TNT's miniseries from writer-director-executive producer Frank Darabont set in 1940s Los Angeles, premieres this Wednesday, and the network's trying out an unusual experiment to promote the three-week series -- an "adaptweetion" (their word!) in which the script for the first episode will be adapted for and published through Twitter."

an "adaptweetion"... ah ah ah. I have no idea what good it can do and see that mostly as a PR stunt so guys like me reshare it ;) BUT who knows...

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:
Alan Rosenblatt: "Now that Twitter displays images within the timeline, hashtags can gather a story timeline easily and present on a single webpage, complete with illustrations. And the story comes with a narrator (the tweet text), a visual (the image) and a dialogue (the caption)."

This is a great article about how Twitter can be an amazing tool to tell powerful stories. In this new age, businesses, politicians, and advertisers are having to come up with new and creative ways to get people talking about things. Twitter has become very useful in getting new things "trending."

My favorate quote: "When Dickens was writing his novels, and they were serialized once a month, he read all the letters that came in. His novels were actually a real dialogue with his audience. He was writing to entertain them, and he got paid by the word, and he wanted them to be pleased. But he also wanted to make sure that they got the story he was trying to tell."

This is an interesting take on affective disposition theory using twitter. Characters actions, intentions, attitudes or statements can remind people of their own life. The use of twitter allows people to become active participants. This article describes clearly how social media can be used as a form of entertainment as well as opening the door for marketers to use social media to create characters or transfer previously used characters in order to relate and interact with consumers.
