Twitter party theory explained in 20 slides*

Iain Tait from Poke

*26 actually. I’ve had to add in a few extras so it makes sense on SlideShare

HOW CAN PEOPLE ‘NOT LIKE’ TWITTER? IT’S LIKE SAYING YOU DON’T LIKE PARTIES.

THERE’S A PARTY OUT THERE FOR EVERYONE

‘PARTY’ IS A VERY LOOSE TERM

LOTS OF PEOPLE WANT TO PARTY WITH ‘CELEBS’

AND ON THE TOPIC OF CELEBS LET’S NOT FORGET THAT TWITTER IN THE UK WAS INVENTED BY ROSS AND FRY**I THINK IN THE US TWITTER WAS INVTENTED BY OPRAH OR ASHTON, RIGHT?

BUT IT ISN’T @WOSSY OR @STEPHENFRY’S PARTY

IT’S YOURSAND IF YOU’RE HAVING A SHIT TIME ON TWITTER IT’S YOUR OWN FAULT. YOU’VE FALLEN IN WITH THE WRONG CROWD.

"WHEN SELECTING GUESTS FOR YOUR EVENT,

YOU’LL WANT TO CHOOSE AN INTERESTING

MIX OF CHARACTERS, BUT MAKE SURE THEY

WILL ALL GET ALONG. IT WOULDN’T DO TO

INVITE PEOPLE WHO ARE KNOWN TO CLASH

WITH OTHER DINNER GUESTS OR CAUSE HEATED DEBATES."EXTRACT FROM PARTY ETIQUETTE GUIDE

ON TWITTER THE TABLE PLAN DOESN’T MATTER - THE GUESTS DON’T KNOW WHO THEY’RE SITTING NEXT TO

"INVITE GUESTS WHO ARE

GOOD CONVERSATIONALISTS,

ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ARE

KNOWN TO BRING ALONG

THEIR SENSE OF HUMOUR."

EXTRACT FROM PARTY ETIQUETTE GUIDE

AND IF YOU SUDDENLY DECIDE YOU DON’T WANT SOMEONE AROUND, REMOVING THEM IS SIMPLE

AND IF SOMEONE INVITES YOU TO THEIR PARTY YOU DON’T HAVE TO FEEL COMPELLED TO INVITE THEM BACK

THE 5 TYPES OF PEOPLE

THAT NO-ONE WANTS AT

THEIR TWITTER PARTY
