How Then Shall We Tell Stories? Jeff Overstreet (@Jeff_Overstreet) treats us to a 38-minute story on storytelling.

I found magic from the 31st through the 35th minute. 33:40 that signal moment when Jeff quotes Orson Welles is to me the heart of what makes storytelling the story of social media:

I want to give the audience a hint of a scene. No more than that. Give them too much and they won’t contribute anything themselves. Give them just a suggestion and you get them working with you. That’s what gives meaning: when it becomes a social act.
