Much of August was spent building up to and recovering from Einstein’s Garden at Green Man Festival. I was managing the Solar Stage there; Jim was broadcasting for Green Man FM, and doing a sterling job plugging all of my acts as well as a bunch of other Geek Pop artists. It was a balmy few days weather-wise, as well as workwise.
I’ve since been experimenting with Storify for aggregating social media content relating to Einstein’s Garden from lots of different sources. It doesn’t work perfectly and takes some considerable fiddling but here are the results. I think it produces a lovely, if not-very-scientific, analysis of the social media response to the project. Though the Storify folks should really think about including some different options for automatically organising content. After a couple of hours of organising everything chronogically I decided I wanted my story to run from first to last post rather than last to first (a la Twitter streams). I then had to spend the rest of the day manually reversing the order of my posts…
