Twitter My Vagina

I wasn’t at the Le Web 3 conference partly because I thought it was made up and partly because I didn’t win a free ticket and return business class flight from New York to Paris by trying to convince the organiser I ‘needed’ a ticket in his ‘make-me-beg’ competition. It should be noted I live in London.

It seems I missed Philippe Starck talking about vaginas and furniture and using the phrase ‘90% sheet’. I have a Starck chair aptly named Eros, it’s broken and is nothing like any vagina I’ve ever experienced and why are you talking about the web Philippe? Perhaps because I am now talking about furniture!

Evan Williams, ex of Blogger and now the anointed of Twitter used this phrase when talking about how Twitter came into being:

What can you create by taking things away?

He’s not talking about Friday nights tikka masala. He’s talking about design and functionality and it should be a mantra all interactive technologists tattoo on their private parts and admire whilst sitting in unstable perspex tub chairs.
