DigiTales Blog - Mel Carson

Microsoft Advertising's Mel Carson collects stories and insight from the digital media space and brings them back down to earth...

I met an Oscar winner last night. Estelle Parsons, who won best supporting actress in Bonnie and Clyde, was performing in August – Osage County at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle and I was lucky enough to get back stage and shake her hand.

 

The play was awesome! A company of about 12 actors had 2000 enthralled in a tale of family strife which included some hilarious and very sad moments too.

 

What it didn’t contain, even though it was a new play, was any mention of sodding Twitter!!!

 

Now don’t get me wrong.......I love Twitter, and I also love Stephen Fry, but was his banter with a detractor over the weekend really worthy of national news?
