Think non-tweeters will really struggle with that view on a screen (plus TVs/projectors are often much lower res than monitors), be very tempted to keep it just to @supersonicfest tweets - unless you could think of a way of explaining it around the screen.

Plan is to have the monitor surrounded by sheets of paper in big type explaining what's going on. It's never going to work well as a view-only thing so better to treat it more as an installation that says "there's a load of stuff going on on Twitter - follow @supersonicfest on your phone".
That said, I might run two monitors, one showing the above and another just showing the @supersonicfest tweets in bigger type.
Plan is to use one of the windows in the Rhubarb studio, if they agree, or an opposite window from reception if it's secure enough. Nice and central and will get a lot of traffic.

I'm a non-tweeter and it was fine for me to follow just to read, although I'm sure I didn't parse so much detail ;) kinda cool having the public screen i thought. sometimes you just wanna throw people in at the deepend - if they really want to learn to tweet, they will. I assume it's all archived no?

Glad it's useful to civilians! Yup, we'll be archiving everything and then scouring the web for blog posts, photos, videos, etc, in the style of
