I like that a excellent FLA (four letter acronym) *Quick wipe of the brow* and " GBCW.

The analogy of various rooms, like hotel suites is just right. There are a lot of conversations, big and small going on under one roof, and they do sometimes spill out into the real world as we've seen with Jan Moir and Stephen Fry in recent weeks.

Who is Twitter fry? Obviously I have not recently tweeted to everybody that is why I am kinda lost here. Twitter is place for those who want to shout something to the world. Who cares to what others would like to express even though it is boring. Besides it is the new hangout for boring people. Isn’t it? All have the right to post tweets as long as it won’t damage anybody.

Was a classic "Good Bye Cruel World" (GBCW) forum post. Only works if you are popular enough for others to notice.

What is so interesting is that the celebrity part, while loud, is only one of the many rooms of the Twitter venue. Elsewhere, people were changing politics, spotting earthquakes or just having lunch.

What's the point? Or maybe that is the point - that there is no point. A rather circular and pointless argument?

What is twitter good for - really?

Thanks Ashley, missed the development at Shiny, but glad to hear that it is progressing well. Some good blogs came out of Shiny.

It is a shame that investment money is so hard to come by, but as you say the BBC and our national press is very strong digitally.

The big problem a UK HuffPo would face would be funding. VCs very rarely seem to fund UK content based start ups unless they have some impressive tech on board. There have only been a handful over the years (Magicalia and Shiny are the two most high profile). I think this because established media is so strong in the UK and there's also the BBC which is obviously hugely influential online. There have been some content companies which have pulled off impressive exits over the years but this have been in niche rather than mainstream markets.

Incidentally Shiny Media has now been split into two sections. Aigua Media has several of its fashion websites while Shiny Digital has its biggest fashion title, its two tech titles and the lifesytle sites. I resigned as CEO of the company in Oct 2007 after disagreements with the other founders and investors, but since August this year have been the CEO of Shiny Digital. After a quiet period several of our websites are now starting to show impressive growth.

I think there are great opportunities for independent new media in the UK, however things are certainly tougher for new media entrepreneurs than they are in the US.

We debate this balance a lot at Thinkbox. We've got an @ThinkboxTV Twitter account but I also use @TessAlps supposedly for professional reasons, but with a more opinionated slant. But I often get confused and start talking about my cabbages!

For anyone interested, we're running an event on Nov 18th at the Soho Hotel which includes some new research about TV's relationship with social media. Blake Chandlee (Facebook) Amelia Torode (VCCP) and David Wilding (PHD) will be debating the topic. You can book at www.thinkbox.tv Apologies for 'advertising'.
