Jukebox piloted using Twitter
TweetJukeBox is a jukebox piloted using Twitter. A traditional jukebox is a device of public installation that plays music in automatic after the introduction of a coin and the selection of a song to listen.
In the TweetJukebox you don’t have to insert a coin to listen the music, you need only to send a message (a tweet) with the name of song on Twitter, using a special hashtag (#): #lampojukebox
The song will be searched in the video database of Youtube and played from the jukebox.
Everyone can choose the song sending a tweet but only the people near the jukebox will listen the song.
That means the choose of the song is delocalized, in the cyberspace, instead the listen is located near the juxebox, in the real life.
Moreover, considering the dimension of the Youtube’s database, the TweetJukebox become a “celestial jukebox”, a jukebox that can play basically all the songs available on Internet.
