New Microsyntax for Twitter

Chris Messina, father of the hashtag, suggests three “pointers” to differentiate the provenance, and specify the destination, of tweets. It’s a small change that adds all-important clarity, and might save a character or two in the process. I hope this takes off. (via Loren Brichter)

Albert Exergian created this great set of minimalist film and television posters as a personal project. You’ll find these and many more on his blog, and his commercial portfolio is equally impressive (and much more ornate).

“Beware 2012, which works the dubious miracle of almost matching Transformers 2 for sheer, cynical, mind-numbing, time-wasting, money-draining, soul-sucking stupidity.”

- Peter Travers with a few acidic words on 2012.

I’m particularly fond of the poster for Michael Haneke’s Funny Games. It’s deliciously evil.

“

We shouldn’t forget that John & Edward’s transcendent performance of Oops … I Did It Again on Saturday was an all-time X Factor high point. It was utterly majestic. If you want to look at it from a technical level there might have been one or two timing and pitch issues - but it wasn’t a performance that should be picked apart on a technical level. It should be spiritually absorbed in one go. And, taken like that, it was life-changing. It was the sort of performance that, if it was projected on to the side of the moon, would stop all global conflict and unite mankind in an instant. Honestly, by the time John and Edward decided to include the song’s romantic spoken-word interlude in their performance, you could almost hear the nation’s Sky+ boxes simultaneously burst into flames from overuse.

It was perfect. John and Edward are perfect. They’re head and shoulders above everyone else on this year’s show. The campaign to make John and Edward win X Factor starts here. Who’s with me?

Anyone? No?

”

- Stuart Heritage with a few acidic words in The Guardian. It’s wonderful that John and Edward inspire ‘think pieces’ in a major British newspaper.
