Zombie Attack: Twitter Gets Interesting

I'll confess I was skeptical of Twitter, in fact I don't even have an account — why would I want to know the minutia of your life? But all that was because I failed to see the storytelling potential of the medium. Now that I've discovered the Twitter zombieattack feed, I've come full circle: Twitter rocks.

Zombieattack is Twitter stream in which someone is documenting life on the run in a world taken over by zombies.

Here's a few snips from the stream:

The trail lead to a cellar, in it was a family of three all dead, near them lays a stack of a newspapers, it seems to be in Japanese…..

Woke up this morning, and my infected arm has spread expontentially. I don't think I can hide this from Matt much longer.

They say to keep the wound clean, and keep drinking liquor so it wont spread. They are so good to us, i think we might have found a new home

My arm has kept me up so i went outside to look at the sky, it is full of stars, is this a sign that things are going to get better?

As of posting this the feed has 830 friends, which makes me wonder if the book and movie deals will start rolling in for clever Twitter users… Either way it beats the heck out of whatever my friends are doing in their boring zombie-free lives.
