Whoa! Storytelling

Most stories I’ve realized are character driven and much of the plot is driven by their development. Not a great insight, but I’m slow. But the thing is that social media is all about the person and telling the their story. I think it’d be a trip either adapt a novel that’s told through Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, Flicker, blogs and whatever or write an entirely new novel using the same devices. So in the end, we end up stalking the character throughout the internet to get the story.

Also, I just read some stuff from the Supernova Conference (http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/06/16/supernova-mobile-connections-forum/) and they were talking about a feature on your phone where you can leave virtual items for people to find in the real world. So then our super internet story can get into the real world and we can walk around find pictures/text/audio/video and get the story in specific locations.

I know this sounds weird and convoluted and probably interesting to 5 people total, but man it’ll be pretty sweet for those 5 people.
