@Bloomsday

So today is Bloomsday, the date on which all of James Joyce's odyssey Ulysses takes place in Dublin in 1904, and there are plenty of commemorative events happening all over the world, especially in Ireland's capital, from pub crawls to non-stop readings to vast dramatic reenactments.

But what I find most interesting are the fifty-four characters who will Twitter the simultaneous events of the dense "Wandering Rocks" chapter throughout the day. It's the most interesting use of the hot, new mini-blogging website I've ever heard, and it makes me second-guess the attention deficit of the Internet age.

An archive of the event can be found here.
