Coming Up This Week In Tangler
It’s great to see Warner Bros using Tangler to power the discussion around their upcoming movie Body of War and the Body of War Soundtrack with their discussion forum here.
Body of War is a documentary about a USA Army Veteran of the Iraq war and his story. It’s also got a great soundtrack, including Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam cranking out some Dylan’esque folk songs.
From the website -
“Body of War is an intimate and transformational feature documentary about the true face of war today. Meet Tomas Young, 25 years old, paralyzed from a bullet to his spine - wounded after serving in Iraq for less than a week.
Body of War is Tomas’ coming home story as he evolves into a new person, coming to terms with his disability and finding his own unique and passionate voice against the war. The film is produced and directed by Phil Donahue and Ellen Spiro, and features two original songs by Eddie Vedder. Body of War is a naked and honest portrayal of what it’s like inside the body, heart and soul of this extraordinary and heroic young man.”
Warner Bros are aiming to use Tangler to engage the people who watch the movie and love the soundtrack in discussion around the issues. It’s a hot and controversial topic, well worthy of healthy debate.
Warner Bros have also utilised Tangler’s embedding technology to take the discussion out of the forum and put it right on their website as shown here.

Summary: Tangler is a better discussion tool than Meebo Rooms or IRC for events and live blogging because its discussion is richer and archive more useful.
This morning there was a blog and Twitter storm over the Mark Zuckerberg interview at SxSW. Twitter was a bit of a back channel and I’m sure some people were on IRC. SxSW seem to have picked Meebo Rooms to be the chat tool of choice. But if you check the picture on the right, you’ll see it really lacks any long lasting value. The chat logs are messy and the chat is short and disparate.
Compare that to the success of Nokia’s Nseries Launch, Enterprise 2.0 and 2web Crew’s Podcast recording.
The discussion is richer and the archive is a lot more useful.
Unlike Meebo rooms or IRC, Tangler-powered discussions are well archived. It’s our synchronous/asynchronous advantage! If you are there at the time, great, join in the discussion. If you miss it, no problems, just walk back through the discussion and add your ‘beef’ to the end.
So the next time you’ve got a;
Let us know how you go.
