The Tweets Is Watching: A Story To Tell
March 10, 2010
During my Tweets Is Watching: B.I.G. Edition I sparked a conversation between “A Story To Tell” producer Buck Wild & Matt Fingaz. It was through their back and forth tweeting that I discovered what some industry vets know, that “A Story To Tell’ was almost the greatest story never told, no Saigon. Here’s a few of the tweets that were exchanged.
