"i know, LOL" - Jake Elliott + Nicholas O'Brien (2008)
yesterdaze Jake Elliott + Nicholas O'Brien created a short-lived Twitter Art project/account which has now "been suspended due to strange activity". i immediately Tweeted about it calling it Twitter Art, LOL.ART or webArt but Twitter calls it "spammy behavior."
Following the now suspended accout takes you to a standard explaination of why the account may be suspended. The reasons incl "If you are sending large numbers of @reply messages that are not genuine replies, you may be considered spam."
Their project, called "i know, LOL" was an account by the same name which was based on the Twitter API + listened for ppl saying "LOL" + then automatically replied to those Twitter users, saying "i know, LOL!"
what interests me here is that these (automated) replies were "not genuine" from the perspective of Twitter + that this form of Twitter Art, LOL.ART, webArt, New Media Art, etc... can so easily be understood/interpreted as "spammy behavior."

The Twelve Days of e-faux (The Infinity Lab Does e-flux) - The Infinity Lab (2008)
"The Twelve Days of e-faux (The Infinity Lab Does e-flux)
Ever get the feeling you need to be independently wealthy to be an artist?
Did you know that Artforum and Art in America Ads cost about 6-15 thousand dollars each?
Have you ever wanted to share your work with the folks at MOCA? Maybe you prefer MOMA? LACMA? The Getty Center? The Tate? Maybe just some galleries in SOHO, or LA?
Well, here's how you can create your own major email list: http://e-faux.org/e-faux.html
Our gift to you!
