Frank Spinetti Takes Over Twigged.net
I’m pleased to announce my recent acquisition of Twigged.net. Former host and founder Ajay Armagh had left the site in abeyance for several months before deciding it was time to move on to something new. He put the site up for auction and I won the bid.
My name is Frank Spinetti. I’m a 23 year old freelance writer originally from London but I spent the best part of my teenage life growing up in Minneapolis. I graduated from uni with a degree in Media and Communications over a year ago now and I’ve been working in various side jobs in the interim. I’m out to make my mark on the web journalism scene and Twigged.net will contribute to that goal.
To mark the transition of ownership of the site, I’ve had the site redesigned and my aim over the coming months will be to refocus the content to matters of social media, tech and blogging. Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy what you read here.
F.S.

Well, congratulations then. I was subscribed to this feed but it hadn’t updated in a while. I never knew about the guy you say you got it from; thought it was previously owned by Andrew Eglinton.
In any case, social media, tech, etc. Why not? In a different life, aeons ago I took media and journalism too, and these days the new media are of particular interest to me. Good luck with the domain and the blog. I’ll stick around for a bit I guess

Hi Nils, great to know that there is at least one feed subscriber, so thanks for stopping by. As for previous owners, I was under the impression that Ajay was the original owner. But you seem to have a different take on it…mmm that’s kind of odd since Ajay mentioned he was the founder of the blog.
Oh well, in any case, I intend to put my own stamp on things here.
I like what you’re doing over at ndnl, I particularly like the Twitter meme. Think I’ll give that a go myself. But what if we took that protest meme to the next level and applied the same logic to a matter of social change? What about Twitter for social change? I know it’s being used by some groups to organise events, protests, rallyes etc, I also know some trade union groups have tried using twitter, but why aren’t we seeing Twitter being used on mass scale to exert pressure or raise awareness to some of the real problems in this world?
Twitter for change. I feel a blog post coming on! Adding NDNL to my new blogroll.
