OK, I’m fascinated (again). The latest love child between IT and art is called the Twiller, and it’s a spontaneously created novel, published 140 characters at a time, on no particular schedule, on Twitter.

This may be the seed for the next iteration of an Exquisite Corpse, like SMXL has going on over at Tagfilm.com.

I have to admit, I don’t twitter. I’m not a big enough fan of the text message as a medium. Plus, I only pay for 200 of the things a month before I get overage fees (thanks, AT&T!). But I’m reconsidering all of this, knowing I can read a novel or two this way.

Maybe I’ll have to join the movement, and start directing a film that I distribute over AIM, using my webcam…
