Salon’s Scott Rosenberg had a tummel-savvy piece on this subject recently. Ironically I heard about it around the same time I saw NPR’s Andy Carvin live tweeting an event and mentioning outsourcing the moderation of comments. Andy later clarified the thing he saw as outsource-able was the human filtering of spam.

Going first is a really key element to successful tummeling. Confidence / lack of self-consciousness provides an emotional container and invitation for others to to join. This is an amazing example. Here’s the long form original without my commentary.

We’re thrilled to be premiering Tummelvision tonight. The show will stream live at http://live.twit.tv from 7pm-8:00PST / 10-11:00pmEST.

Joining us is game designer Nicole Lazzaro, a participant in the Social Interaction Design Blog and an expert in the role of emotion in gaming.

You can chat with us and the rest of the Tummlers at http://irc.twit.tv .

This show will be livestream only for the first few months from TWiT. Well post audio files and video files if recorded by the TWiT army here once we get them.
