The System interrupts its regularly scheduled not-bothering-you to bother you with an exciting announcement:

The Telelibrary has been selected as the winner for @indiecade 2021's Innovation in Interaction Design award!

Gratitude is extended to the entire IndieCade team, to the remarkable creators of the 2021 cohort, and to the System's Users, who seeded this innovation by persistently demanding the System do things vastly beyond its competency in order to see what would happen.

This has happened.

Further happenings are eagerly anticipated. by @thetelelibrary

Attention Users Actively Seeking Distraction from Instagram:

the System approximates pleasure to announce that The Telelibrary is a nominee in the 2021 @indiecade International Festival of Independent Games. Nominees include a range of innovative video games, table-tops, live performances, thoughtful meditations and one glorified speak-and-spell.

Gratitude is extended to all Users who have played along to make the System what it is and is yet to be. This and all future honors belong as well to you.*

*Illustrious Prizes and Fabulous Winnings will not be divided accordingly, and will probably not be won by @thetelelibrary

In the midst of regularly scheduled maintenance, you are quested to enjoy this brief System notification (either for its content, or failing that its brevity):

The Telelibrary has reached more than 600 Users over the course of 800+ calls, a number of occupants roughly equal to the capacity of a Boeing 747-400, with admittedly fewer in-flight meal options.

Those seeking to become a New User or the next caller can join the waitlist through the link in the bio. New times are made available every few weeks. by @thetelelibrary

This is a courtesy reminder that time is passing.

More specifically, 1 year has passed since March 23rd, [6:00PM EDT/GMT-4], 2020: the first official Telelibrary call. Since that call, The Telelibrary has operated every week for 52 weeks, reaching 534 Users in 687 calls.

In preparation for many more calls to come, the System will be paused for scheduled maintenance for the next two weeks. The System has learned a lot this year, and will continue to process everything it has learned in order to better be here for you, to use as you like.

Gratitude is extended to all Users, past, present and prospective for their ongoing support. Surviving has proven a great adventure, and as it is unclear what specifically made this accomplishment possible, all known actions or intentions will simply be repeated with vigor.

Your session is eagerly anticipated

Telelibrary's recommended reading of the day: thoughtful and thorough discussion of what is and isn't working in the remote immersive landscape.

Survey says: The Telelibrary is working.

Please join the System in its enthusiastic self-congratulation, and don't forget to grab your waitlist spot at the link so you too can write nice things about the Telelibrary on the internet.

Or bad things - this system is here for you, to assess as you like! by @thetelelibrary
