Rebooting Electronic Literature: Documenting Pre-Web Born Digital Media

Social Media Content fo Jane Yellowlees Douglas' "I Have Said Nothing"

Facebook
In order to foster a broad range of conversations through social media, we maintained three separate streams on Facebook : 1) the Pathfinders project site, entitled "elitpathfinders,"  with 245 followers, 2) the Electronic Literature Organization's page with over 1600 members, and 3) Grigar's own site. ELL Team members with a Facebook page also posted to their own sites. 

The first few posts introduced the event and explained the work to the general public the day of the event.




The next few posts contain information about the work for the audience who do not have prior knowledge of I Have Said Nothing.





The following five posts provide background information on the four characters in the hypertext narrative.

Similar to Facebook, we used three Twitter sites to stream our conversation: 1) Dene Grigar's own site that had over 2,800 followers, 2) Nicholas Schiller's site, with 2,200 followers and 3) ELL Team Member Veronica Whitney's site, with over 175 members. Whitney was in charge of posting and reposting on Twitter during the event. The hashtag we used was #elitpathfinders, as this hashtag has been used consistently through the project.

The first posts announce the event ahead of time using the hashtag #elitpathfinders.
