‘Twitter the Opera’?!
August 19th, 2009 by LG Blog UK
The Royal Opera House has called on the general public to help them write a opera out of tweets!
The public will be donating there ideas and thoughts for the lyrics and story line of this wacky new opera style. It is an experimental opera, which is trying to break down the barrier between the audience and the art form. The show will be held at the Royal Opera House on the 4th-6th September with people twits set to music.
See the full BBC video report here.
It's an interesting idea but will it work? As Backbytes points out:
"Expect the unexpected,"...

Twitterfall and the rise and rise of Twitter

Twitterfall is a way of viewing the latest 'tweets' of upcoming trends on the micro-blogging site Twitter. Updates fall from the top of the page in near-realtime.
Unlike other sites, Twitterfall purely does trends (for now). Because of this, we can be efficient - Twitter is queried from the Twitterfall server, and results are pushed to your browser, rather than your browser doing the queries, or your computer polling our server repeatedly.
Current trends include Digital Britain and the Superbowl, as well as the option of creating a custom trend, however:

The UK – a future global hub for mobile?
August 14th, 2008 by LG Blog UK

Taking the LG Secret for a spin on Flickr
June 5th, 2008 by LG Blog UK
With yesterday being a lovely day I went out for a stroll at lunch and took some photos with the LG Secret, which you can enjoy over at our brand new LG Blog Flickr photostream. They came out pretty well - I even mucked about a bit with some of the camera's settings including macro (the bluebells) and the colour filter (as seen by the sepia houses). Check them out below and be sure to look at the whole set.
Be sure to add us as a friend on Flickr and if you are the lucky owner of...
