Subject: [msgs] Twitter's holding an engineering showcase in Boston this Thursday evening, Aug. 22

Media Labbers (and/or your friends from across the 'tute)... you're invited to a Twitter engineering
at an engineering showcase across the river (but not too far) this Thursday.

If you're curious about working/interning at Twitter, or just want to learn more about how the
Tweet Factory* works (maybe both) here's a chance. It's free. The snacks will probably be quite good.

(RSVP link at end of message)

The ML's own Prof. Deb Roy, now Chief Media Scientist at Bluefin/TwitterTV will present.
His work offers fresh insights into social media ( I don't mean /love it/ or /hate it/ but really,
/understand/ how it's perceived by the various players. He has excellent perspective and great
clarity in communicating his group's findings.

* Tweet Factory is not official Twitter nomenclature for /anything/. But that's what I call it :)
