Newsflash: Twitter's Stephen Colbert outed as fake
We all knew it was unlikely, but the real Colbert has been known to keep closely connected to all things involving the Internets. I mean, this is after all the guy who set the video uploading world into a tizzy with the Stephen Colbert Green Screen Challenge, right?
So many Star Wars Kid jokes, so little time. Well, for those who weren't in the know, someone has been "tweeting" as StephenTColbert on Twitter, and his rhetoric was fairly convincing.
Check this one out: http://twitter.com/StephenTColbert/statuses/813625113
Or this one: http://twitter.com/StephenTColbert/statuses/813589411
Or better yet, this one: http://twitter.com/StephenTColbert/statuses/813149340
Anyways, he was outed by Comedy Central Insider, the show confirmed that the real Colbert dost not tweeteth, and as a result the faker has posted a tumblr blog explaining the whole ordeal: http://fakestephencolbert.tumblr.com/
Pretty funny stuff, but the timing is a little unfortunate. I'm hoping this doesn't die down too quickly, as it would be hilarious to see the real Colbert address his Nation regarding the controversy.

Color Wars goes online
from: http://www.zefrank.com
colorwar 2008
ok, i promise not to let this blog devolve into a series of posts about twitter, but i think this is worth mentioning.
We used to play color wars at summer camp. Near the end of the year the entire camp would split up into colors, red, green, black, blue, etc... and compete in a series of events: tug of war, egg toss, basketball - sort of like the movie Meatballs, except all within the same camp.
During the summer we were divided into discreet units, older kids here, younger kids there, Hiawathans by the lake Tawasenthans by the ropes course, etc... But when it came time for color wars you had no idea who would be on your team. It was a release, and it was viciously fun.
So, for a while I've been thinking about how a color war might look online. How would you play tug of war, or other group games that were silly, time limited, and awesome... and more importantly how could you create teams within an already functioning environment to have that same people-mash-up effect that we did at camp.
Twitter seemed perfect. So yesterday AM I posted this tweet, this tweet, and this tweet.
And now it has gone haywire. I regret having caused a day of spam...but...
There are dozens of teams, some of which are hundreds of players deep. Many of the players don't really know what they joined or why, but for me and the wonderful coders that are working on this, it is a perfect implicit structure that can be used to start setting up the colorwar events. And beyond this, it is an idiom that can be used to create rapid affiliation and action models in the future.
hoping the first event will be ready soon...let the games begin. from: http://www.zefrank.com colorwar 2008 ... more -
