Feed, Breed & Tweet

Every day this last week the frontpages of the most powerful international media have refered to the role that universes and tools such as Twitter, Facebook and Youtube are apparently playing in relation to the conflict in Iran. New systems with inapprehensible effects whose capacity to capture attention takes the place of analysis and actions on the other older problems that are still, though, with no solution.

When an event is recounted and highlighted as an excuse to talk about other issues of a constitutive or structural order, the expansion of the game in the fantasy of the news item has occured. To this desployment we dedicate this week a game of simulation which may permit to explore the inherent complexity of the new systems of information diffusion.

The Game

Breed the twitter birds shooting at them informations of different kind: news on the tool itself, which will increase the number of its users; viral contents that will saturate the system; and information, finally, on the problems and challenges of the communities over the world. While you keep the number of the users of the tool and the exchange of these last informations, the project will continue to succeed.
