@twitcrit 1.1
Dave Winer, doodling as only he can, has made an elegantly clean interface for reading @twitcrit posts here. Take a look.
I’d love to see lots of people sharing their instareviews during The Wire tonight. Or during the playoffs. In Twitter, all you have to do is type “@twitcrit” at the start of your nonoreview.
I like this better than liveblogging because it’s collaborative; we all get to comment. And it’s simpler than IRC for events and also can include mobile phone SMS input.

Here’s another (rough & ready) @twitcrit aggregator - with search interface and SPARQL query endpoint/API (yes, it’s Semantic Web-enabled). it’s only been live a couple of hours, so there’s not much data in it yet.

Jeff: I suggest adding a link from your TwitCrit page on Twitter to an explanation on BuzzMachine. You might get more participation — if that’s what you seek. Folks who follow me, for example, might click the twitcrit link, but not really know what it’s all about or how to participate.

[...] Back in January, I noticed an intriguing idea from Jeff Jarvis : @twitcrit: instareviews. Basically to use the Twitter microblogging tool to post mini reviews. I couldn’t resist having a quick go at an implementation of what Jeff described. Fast mover that he is, Dave Winer got an implementation together ahead of me - see Jeff’s subsequent post. [...]
