Wiping the Sweat off our Brows

24 May 2011

So we guest edited the Twitter feed for @CreativeReview this week, and are still recovering from the feat.

It was all brilliant fun, but talking to a tweet audience of 370,000 kinda put the pressure on. Was it inspiring enough? Did we say the right thing? In the right tone? Who knows.

What we do know is that we mostly tried to stay true to our motto of sharing great looking stories with the odd ridiculous, random even, thing thrown in. And we also know that we ended up adding more Twitter followers to Creative Review’s existing Twitter fan base.

For those of you who missed it, or didn’t dare look in case, well in case it all went horribly wrong, here’s some of what we posted:

  • Loving Jennifer Egan’s awesome use of a crappy power point chapter in her new book. #GuestEd #AnnaBritt
  • This George Jensen film makes us smile so much our cheeks ache. #GuestEd #AnnaBritt

So, would we do it again? Hell yes. Are we glad our day in their Twitter seat is behind us? Oh yeah. Here’s to a guest editor’s well earned Twitter pint.
