Role Playing On Twitter: My Little Ponies Comes To (Text-Based) Life

This is something I thought I’d never see. A group of 130 people have banded together on Twitter for some ‘My Little Pony’ role playing.

I guess now that I think of it, Twitter is a great place for role playing. It’s like a chatroom: you can follow only those accounts who are also playing along using a list, you can send short snippets of your “life” as a character, and interact directly with others using @mentions, and you could also start quests or other events using hashtags.
