Ian MacKenzie commented on Arvind Salwan's blog post 'Why TellyLinks.com may prove to be a catalyst in convergence of technology by Arvind Salwan, New Media Corp'

We've also been experimenting at extracting the signal from the noise on Twitter with a 4iP-supported project, FestBuzz.com, which takes the view of the crowd at all seven Edinburgh Festivals and tries to extrapolate crowdsourced reviews. More on th…

My frank nature has been known to get the better of me, but instead of saying "Uh yes but not recently", I confessed that I am yet to join the tweeting revolution. Gasp, shock horror, jings crivens, some of you no doubt saying or thinking...
