Director Helen Baxter joined Oliver Driver on the Sunrise breakfast show for TV3 commenting on the new proposals for revisions to New Zealand Copyright law. Mohawk Media supports the main amendments to S92A but as artists and rightsholders we still believe that internet termination is a step too far, and undermines the basic human right to freedom of speech.

Watch Helen & Chelfyn Baxter on Campbell LIve talking about Twitter the increasingly popular microblogging service. Report by Natasha Utting at TV3.

 “Its a super simple, easy to use, quick to set up form of communication, and it enables people to stay in touch when they're on the road, through their handsets and their mobile devices.

So in some ways you're taking your network, your community, your whanau with you on the road," says ‘Internet expert extraordinaire’ - Helen Baxter.

“I'll find an interesting article on the internet and I’ll use a service called Tiny Url to shorten it into a small piece of text and use the rest of my tweet to explain in as few wordsas possible what the rest of the article was about in a way that I hope will interest my friends and readers,” says Chelfyn.

“Its put me in touch with a lot of people that I met face to face that live all around the country who are in similar lines of work to me who work from home and we don’t have an office to collect together,” Cheflyn says.

In that way, Twitter is like a virtual water-cooler, a constant stream of people that you're listening to - watching the conversations flow past like a little river.

A study from last year showed that there is a limit to the power of quantity over quality to give you digital cool. The same Guardian article quoted a study from the USA which showed that large number of friends can make you seem more popular until the 800 mark, after which collecting more friends just makes you come across as needy and insecure.
