A Chinposium for the Chinerati
By chris dalby | March 4, 2008
OK its kind of kooky but me and James noticed some time ago that op-eds they always pose with the chin in hand. Do we really walk around and hold these poses? Some do sure, but its such a strong photographic idea, particularly on the cover of computer books.
So last week James used a silly avatar pic on twitter, with a chin holdin pose. Lots of comments and a week of gestation later he had a dumb idea. Lets try and get other people chinholdin. Why not make it a Fun thing for Friday on Twitter.
So I cobbled together the first release and we did pretty well. We’re up to about 70 people this week. Next week we’ll do better. Twitter users just need to make their avatar pic a chin pose and then follow @chinposin.
Please join us for a chin and tonic some time. And now let the fun begin. Oh yeah - here is the chinposin aggregator site- there are some classics there.
