For the diehard Lost fans
May. 16th, 2009 09:55 pmDiehard Lost fans may wish to follow a couple of intriguing new twitter accounts: @simeonhobbes and epithetalpha. Just don't ask me for any explanations - I'm more confused than you are. (My answer to the mysterious question about the shadow this season was "algae, bacteria and interesting viral DNA." What? I still say I'm right. At least, scientifically.)
(Considerably more clever (and obsessed) Lost twitterers include @lostpedia, DEBauslaugh, and Oli2beLost, all of whom can provide you with more guidance than I.)
***********
Quite beyond my general Lost obsession, I'm absolutely enthralled by the idea of tantalizing potential readers and viewers with Twitter updates and puzzles of this sort. Done poorly, of course, it's just annoying. But done well, it can both intrigue and reward fans, and I admit, the back of my mind is already thinking of how to put this and use this in a book. Of course, by the time I work out how, we'll all have moved on to some other sort of internet social networking thing and just be laughing at Twitter...
