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

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
