Twitter gets mentioned around these parts quite often. And along the way I’ve mentioned the great twittertales that Melvin Burgess has been writing these days. (You really should have a read of those shorts at melvinburgess.net)

And not ones to be outdone, the BBC and Neil Gaiman have come up with #bbcawdio. Where the clever boffins of BBC Audiobooks America want twitter to write a real, coherrent,  narrative that will be scripted and produced as a free audiobook. The story started with:

Sam was brushing her hair when the girl in the mirror put down the hairbrush, smiled & said, “We don’t love you anymore.

So if you think you know where this could go – check out the twitter stream and join in. I’m looking forward to hearing the end result – this could be great!
