Twitter + Music = Twitgigs
TweetSince the explosion of micro-blogging service Twitter last year, Twitter-powered events have been mushrooming across London; think Twestival, The Shoreditch Twit, Aperitweat or Twitcamp. Whether you want to network, share your social media knowledge with other Tweeps or simply enjoy a drink or two, there’s something for everyone!
Enters Twitgigs, London’s first ever social media event that combines Twitter with music.
Supported by Smirnoff Night Vision initiative, theTwitgigs Experiment will take place at The Vibe Bar on 6th August and will feature a battle of the bands competition, on-screen live twitter feeds, and music-related giveaways on the night.
The August event is a chance to bring the online interaction to a real world space, combining live entertainment with social technology.
Smirnoff Original Nights provided organisers Rax and Nisha with an opportunity to fuse together their individual passions (@nishajl’s love for independent live music and @raxlakhani’s fascination with online communities) into a unique and hopefully memorable blend; Twitter + Music = Twitgigs

I have to admit that I haven’t been Tweeting and blogging as much as I used to, and have become much more of a passive observer in the last few months. I was pleasantly surprised when I spotted the ‘new look’ (I am not entirely sure when Twitter rolled this out) multimedia rich trending topics…

During my recent trip to NYC, I couldn’t help but notice how much more mainstream Social Media is in the USA. As Adam pointed out in his recent 10 Foursquare secrets worth making public post, Foursquare [and other services] is much advanced than it is in London. Here are a few interesting things I spotted…
A brand engaged with me the other day…
about 1 year ago - 2 comments
As a consumer, I recommend and even occasionally express my discontent about brands via Twitter or my blog. As a social media pro, I spend most of my days managing online presences for other brands, engaging with both fans and detractors. And the other day, for the first in absolutely ages, a brand engaged with…
Customer service 2.0 – Easyjet

I had a bit of an epic journey attempting to travel back to Lyon for the festive season today. I missed my 5AM train to Gatwick, jumped on a taxi and arrived at the airport only to be informed that my Easyjet flight was delayed. Armed with a good book and a very large cup…

TV is becoming increasingly social. As Neil points out, Twitter went into complete overdrive over the X-Factor last Sunday following Lucie Jones’ shock eviction, with 8 out of the top 10 Twitter trending topics being X-Factor related*. I got rid of my TV when I moved in my flat last year; my flat is on…
Adventures in Twitterland… (bring back the link love)
about 2 years ago - 2 comments
Funny things often happen in Twitterland… Today’s randomness definitely got me LOLing away behind my screen… Back in the old days, bloggers used to link back to one another other as a sign of appreciation, and an effective way of sharing content. Linking back also helped increase our Page Rank and Technorati authority; we (bloggers)…

Six million broadband users are estimated to download files illegally every year in the UK in a practice that music and film companies claim is costing them billions of pounds in lost revenue annually. So what can music companies do to tackle music piracy? Two things spring to mind: a) Fine illegal music downloaders (virtually…

Hi Lolly – Thanks for the plug! The Twitgigs Experiment is hopefully going to be a really interesting night. Ticklets are going fast, and I'm sure they'll go even faster now that you've got the word out.
There will be plenty of experimental Twitter challenges on the night and for all those who won't be able to make it to London, we'll also be livestreaming the event.
