I guess its best that I justify tweeting Q & A about 30 times.
As Dan and Sam stated it would be quite interesting to see if we did get on television and to see what it did for the project itself.
Justifications coming at you:
-We were tweeting how ACTIV and Jeff would be if they weren’t just us (We’ve almost reached the point where we are sure our characters are real people we’re just filling in for). At this point in time they both yearn for media coverage and through Q&A they could have received some national coverage.
-Q&A’s guest was Joe Hockey and it was particularly relevant to our narrative with Demetri posting a journal article about it and Jeff Shroud focusing on funding in his campaign.
-What we were tweeting was in character as ACTIV and where possible relevant to their battle with Jeff.
-It provided another entry point into the narrative for audience members. Those following the Q&A tweets would’ve seen ACTIV popping up in the feed frequently and may have been inclined to find out more. These people are quite politically mind and often aligned to the left and more likely to check out the twitter page then those live tweeting a boxing match. There was some form of evidence of this engagement with a few retweets and favourites; however, these were only on Q&A related tweets. If people did explore our accounts further we don’t know and unfortunately no one ventured over to either WordPress site.

I probably did get a bit carried away with the tweets…in all honesty I just wanted to see ACTIV on television. I decided that I would delete any that detracted from the story but I believe that they add to the persona of ACTIV. Plus I thought some we’re really funny.

Example:

P.S Someone from America went on the ACTIV blog. I don’t know what else to say other than that it happened. Jeff wished people in the states loved him.
