A Party Theory of Twitter

Iain Tait from Poke Twitter party theory explained in 20 slides* *26 actually. I’ve had to add in a few extras so it makes sense on SlideShare

HOW CAN PEOPLE ‘NOT LIKE’ TWITTER? IT’S LIKE SAYING YOU DON’T LIKE PARTIES.

THERE’S A PARTY OUT THERE FOR EVERYONE

‘PARTY’ IS A VERY LOOSE TERM

LOTS OF PEOPLE WANT TO PARTY WITH ‘CELEBS’

AND ON THE TOPIC OF CELEBS LET’S NOT FORGET THAT TWITTER IN THE UK WAS INVENTED BY ROSS AND FRY* *I THINK IN THE US TWITTER WAS INVTENTED BY OPRAH OR ASHTON, RIGHT?

BUT IT ISN’T @WOSSY OR @STEPHENFRY’S PARTY

IT’S YOURS AND IF YOU’RE HAVING A SHIT TIME ON TWITTER IT’S YOUR OWN FAULT. YOU’VE FALLEN IN WITH THE WRONG CROWD.

"WHEN SELECT YOU’LL ING GU MIX OF WANT ESTS F CHARA TO CHO OR YOU WILL A CTERS OSE AN R EVEN LL GET , BUT M INTERE T, INVITE PEOPLE ALONG AKE SU STING WITH O WHO A . IT WO RE THE THER D RE KNO ULDN’T Y INNER WN TO DO TO GUEST CLASH HEATED S OR C AUSE DEBAT ES." EXTRACT FROM PARTY ETIQUETTE GUIDE

ON TWITTER THE TABLE PLAN DOESN’T MATTER - THE GUESTS DON’T KNOW WHO THEY’RE SITTING NEXT TO

H RE , O A TS W TS ONALIS ES TI VI GU SA TE VER RE "IN CON EW GHOA G D OO ALLY TH ALOS ON ESP ECI B NG OUR." RI UM N OW NSETO OF H KN SE THE IR EXTRACT FROM PARTY ETIQUETTE GUIDE

AND IF YOU SUDDENLY DECIDE YOU DON’T WANT SOMEONE AROUND, REMOVING THEM IS SIMPLE

AND IF SOMEONE INVITES YOU TO THEIR PARTY YOU DON’T HAVE TO FEEL COMPELLED TO INVITE THEM BACK
