Six years, one tweet, every hour. The longest novel ever. Via Twitter. Awesomeness. Started in the end of October 2011 and will complete around the same time in 2017.
In Search Of Lost Time is known for being one of the longest novels ever written, the novel consists of 7 volumes and has a total of approximately 1.5 million words (depending on translation), which equals with the english translation 7485656 characters / 140 = 53469 tweets. One tweet per hour = 2228 days or 6.1 years.
The man behind this idea, Jonas Lund, wanted to read it for a long time but didn't get around it, so he thought if he can integrate it into his daily stream of information, he would just read it on the go, without any considerate effort. Just like a status update from one of your friends, In Search Of Lost Time can also become part of your social graph.
Love this idea! Read the story here and let's talk about it in 2017.
