Dan Sinker, author of the satirical @MayorEmanuel Twitter feed, sits down with Google's Brian Fitzpatrick to talk about the logistics of real-time storytelling, the unexpected growth of the anonymous account, and the media attention that followed Sinker's 'outing'.

Dan Sinker teaches in the journalism department at Columbia College Chicago where he focuses on entrepreneurial journalism and the mobile web. He is the author of the popular @MayorEmanuel twitter account and is the creator of the election tracker the Chicago Mayoral Scorecard, the mobile storytelling project CellStories, and was the founding editor of the influential underground culture magazine Punk Planet until its closure in 2007.
