citizencurators

University of Westminster and Museum of London are on the hunt for 12 #citizencurators to record life in London during the Games.

Euro 2012 set a new Twitter record, with 15,358 tweets per second during the Spain vs Italy final, as we know, Spain won - but it appears that they also won in terms of tweetage (that's a word in the Chinwag dictionary), as shown by the below infographic put together by sports website, thescore.com with Twitter data from Sysomos.

Now in 2012, I find myself working with online brands which are becoming more and more reliant on and increasingly intelligent within the space of broadcast media.

Simon Says: Hashtag Pages, the (much needed) love child of Facebook & Google News

Hashtag Pages does exactly what it says on the tin. They are a unique page designed to pull together all the media and interesting commentary around a certain hashtag. The first people to take advantage of this is #NASCAR.
