Gary Hayes put this video together for the attendees of the public “How to make Machinima course” he ran at AFTRS the other day. My character from World of Warcraft got roped in to voice the silly jokes. She’s now on the hunt for an avatar management agency. Heh.  Some of the machinima we watch at home is as long as a movie – and rife with ‘in world, in jokes’ that have me giggling on the floor but no-one else would probably understand.  Our video has probably managed to offend the online communities around every single game mentioned.

Natalie Imbruglia (@natimbruglia) responding to a fan on Twitter. While a number of stars are still using Twitter for broadcast (get an intern to tweet 140 char press releases linking to full press release) more and more are using the online community Twitter in a social way. I blogged about the stoush between Perez Hilton and Ashton Kutcher where Ashton told Perez that basically he was just miffed because the blogger was being disintermediated – why do fans need people to blog/New Idea about celebrities when the celebs will tell us themselves through their own channel?
