Convertainment

Another example of entertainment that takes the form of conversations between fans and the characters. A few folks are playing out the lives of the characters on Mad Men 24/7 through Twitter. After a brief dispute between AMC and the fans, it appears AMC have relented to let them continue to use the names of Don Draper, Peggy Olsen, Joan Holloway, among others from the hit cable series. Is this entertainment? Or entertaining? Definitely the former, the later is a matter of taste (I'd say more a curiosity) but it is interesting to see people adapting new media to storytelling. The networks should take note.
