Ugh! Tate replaced the postcard-comments room at the Turner Prize with a twitterfall this year, and it was so much duller. Also, if you've ever experienced the Dana Centre's live event twitterfall it mostly consists of hashtagged complaints about the acoustics. Don't do it!

One of our regularly funded organisations, Fabrica Gallery in Brighton, have a 'Twitter' board up on their wall where staff members can write Tweets so everyone else can see them. It's an interesting twist on hidden digital networking - making it real!

Hi Rick,
Will look you up on Twitter I have already found Frankie.
One of the things that occurs to me is that Twitter is a fantastic way of letting your colleagues know what you are doing especially if you worked at an enormous institution like the V&A for example. Otherwise everyone just carries on working in Silos! I wonder if any 'Big' organidations are encouraging their staff to use Twitter?
Best
Vincent

Frankie and Vincent
Completely agree with you about Twitter needing staff involvement and
access to work well.
Getting access for two of us took a long time and I think it is only us
plus our two marketing staff tweeting has reassured IT that the day will
be "safe".
The rest of the museum staff having view only access came as a pleasant
surprise to us. At last our colleagues can see what we are doing and at
least for today participate.
If you are on Twitter do please join in and any thoughts on or off list
are welcome.
Rick
