Berlin Twitter Wall
I'm going to Berlin this weekend (wahoooo!) and hadn't realised the significance of my travel plans - just a week before the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall (Germany marks 20 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the country's reunification on November 9, 2009).
The Berlin Twitter Wall is a nice and simple execution by Kulturprojekte Berlin GmbH that encourages users to "share you thoughts on the historic Fall of the Wall and post a wish for the future. Just use the hashtag #fotw on twitter and after a while your message will appear on the twitterwall".
"By clicking "stop" and "play", older messages (tweets) will be shown. A click on the cameras up on the wall will show a selection of the domino-artwork that will fall in a symbolic act on November 9th 2009 at the "Fest der Freiheit" (festival of freedom) at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin".
Nothing revolutionary about this project, but I like the design and think it's a nice way to build a conversation around this topic.
While their Facebook Page had only 334 fans at the time of this post, I appreciate the effort to educate Page fans on the chronology leading up to the historic event.
