Thanks to David Lee King for highlighting this new video on Twitter featuring his interesting experience:
Cory Doctorow has a good post on BoingBoing titled Motherlode of Soviet futuristic magazine covers which illustrates an example of how Twitter can be powerful:
“Here’s a massive boatload of covers from vintage Soviet tech magazines — most of these came from valiant Twitterers (@billnagel, @kwispel, @vr_quarksoup, @houbi) who responded to my call for the originating URL for an unattributed gallery of covers I found on another site, filling my cup to overflowing with a motherload of sovfuturkitsch that I’ll be wallowing in for days. I want to wallpaper my office with these.
Update: Via Twitter, @vonross adds, “This was a youth-oriented futurist/kosmist zine started in the 20′s, purged & retasked by Stalin during WWII, it went to roots of modernism.”
