‘Backchannel’ communication is becoming pretty common: listening and watching to Twitter and blogs at conferences, film premieres, concerts or any live event is a way of vicariously being there, commenting, disrupting or even gazumping the ‘happening’.
So, the Glasshouse Partnership team is going to tune into Twitter next time Question Time is on to see how the Twitterati engage (or not) with Mark Adams aka MarkinReading ['All I do is Tweet around BBC's Question Time TV programme']. If it takes off, this might make ‘Any Answers’ an irrelevance. If the volumes are large, ’clean’ and interesting enough maybe the programme producers will integrate the ‘remote’ Twitter audience into the programme. Good luck Mark. How about encouraging a rating for each panellists ‘answer’ out of ten?
