Apologies for misquoting Louise on the negative tweeter. The identity of this person was not revealed on Tuesday(!) and as there were lots of references to journalists and PRs during the talk, I assumed that anyone associated with the campaign on that (insidious) level would be a journalist. I really enjoyed listening to Louise and Christina share so openly about the Twitter Titters project on Tuesday. It was very heart warming! Well done to all 3 of you for following through on the original idea. That is my favourite part of the story. Here’s looking forward to your next online publishing project. Keep me posted! And yes... Went and bought the A4 version of the book :o) Look forward to reading it! @Linda:

There are a few points I'd like to clarify if that's okay - mainly that there was no marketing plan in place and that the team weren't PR specialists - there was and I am! We got fantastic coverage from bloggers, brilliant support from tweeters and articles in the national media as well as major pieces in major regionals, much of the approach was based on PR for a previous book I'd written and has excellent reviews etc - but as this book was called TwitterTitters, it was about what could be achieved on Twitter, mainly. You are spot on - there was lots more we could have blogged about - and I would like to continue to do so. I'm hugely grateful for the help of Louise and Christina and the rest of the team - the way we worked together is one of the best things I'll take from the experience. But yeah I don't mind admitting some of the negativity that arose was a bit hard to bear in the thick of it - I think if the same people said to me now what they said then, I'd look on it differently. Personally I felt we should hold back from engaging with a particular critic and it can be easier to get sucked into a 'debate' when you're all fired up! The tweeter who insulted us so strongly wasn't a journalist - I think she was a student tweeter who wasn't a fan of Comic relief per se - and the stuff she said was personal against a member of the team - so it was a different thing to deal with rather than criticism of the project if you see what I mean. Lots, lots more was done to promote the book - I won't clog up your comments any more! Please do check the book out if you can, readers say it's a belter: http://www.lulu.com/content/6281246 All the best and thanks again.
